Summary

Career Transition to HGV Driver

Having successfully completed my Class 1 HGV licence on 05.09.25, while in my current role, I am now seeking to transition my six years of commercial van driving experience in London and the South East into a professional HGV driving career. As an EPOS systems installer, I have developed a strong foundation of transferable skills directly applicable to commercial transport:

Technical Proficiency: Extensive experience with electronic systems and diagnostic equipment has prepared me to confidently operate modern vehicle technology, including digital tachographs, fleet management systems, and cargo documentation platforms.

Customer Service Excellence: Six years of direct customer interaction has developed strong communication skills, professionalism, and the ability to represent my employer positively while understanding and meeting both company and customer requirements.

Route Knowledge & Navigation: Comprehensive knowledge of London and South East road networks, combined with experience navigating challenging urban environments, traffic management, and delivery scheduling.

Regulatory Compliance: Strong understanding of the importance of compliance frameworks, including familiarity with driver hours regulations, vehicle inspection procedures, and health & safety requirements.

Adaptability: Eager to apply these skills across 7.5t, Class 2, or Class 1 vehicles as required.
