Scorton,North Yorkshire
Summary
I am a qualified HGV driver, with 10 years experience in both a military setting in the Royal Air Force and also within civilian companies. I have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, which give me the ability to persuade, influence and negotiate in complex situations. I have great experience within project management, creating and managing contracts. In my current role, I have created great relationships with contractors. I have in-depth knowledge when it comes to operator, vehicle and driver licensing requirements not only from management point of view but also from driver point of view. I also have great knowledge in fleet asset management software (Clarity) which includes organising vehicle maintenance, costs for travel and vehicles and client contracts.
