Transport: The Backbone of the UK Economy

The transport and logistics sector is vital to keeping the UK moving, ensuring goods and services reach businesses and consumers efficiently. Skilled drivers and logistics professionals are at the heart of this industry, but with growing challenges in workforce shortages and training accessibility, we need effective, scalable solutions.

At UK Partnership for Skills, we bring together a trusted network of training providers to deliver high-quality driver training and logistics skills development. By collaborating, sharing resources, and streamlining funding access, we help training providers expand their reach and equip the next generation of skilled drivers.

The Ongoing Demand for Skilled Drivers

The UK continues to experience high demand for Heavy and Large Goods Vehicle (HGV) drivers, with Government data from late 2024 confirming ongoing workforce shortages.

Struggling to meet demand

There are currently 266,200 HGV drivers in the UK, yet the industry struggles to meet demand.

Job outcomes vary

HGV Skills Bootcamps have helped bring new drivers into the industry, but job outcomes vary across training providers.

Beyond drivers

The need for qualified logistics professionals extends beyond drivers, impacting warehousing, fleet management, and supply chain coordination.
