Blue Triangle Training aims to help tackle driver shortage

Newly-launched Birmingham-based driver training business Blue Triangle Training aims to tackle the national driver shortage by offering tuition to drivers wanting to gain their HGV/LGV licences.

Launched at the end of April, Neil Thomas, who has spent his entire working career in the transport sector, put his long-standing business idea into action when faced with redundancy.

The Garretts Green-based company is run with his wife Mary Thomas and has created two full-time jobs. It was launched following support from the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce as part of the Start & Grow programme.
