Matt Watson

I am a qualified Transport Manager with over 12 years’ experience in transport compliance, training development and compliance system design.

My experience includes designing and developing transport compliance audit systems, management processes and reporting frameworks to help businesses monitor performance, identify risks and maintain robust compliance standards.

I have also designed Driver CPC training courses covering areas including drivers’ hours, tachographs, the Road Transport Working Time Directive, vehicle safety and Operator Licence responsibilities. This has required detailed research, interpretation of legislation and the development of practical training materials for professional drivers.

I am now looking to support local operators as an External Transport Manager, combining my Transport Manager CPC qualification with extensive experience in compliance systems, course development and business process improvement.

My areas of knowledge and experience include:

• Operator Licence compliance
• Drivers’ hours and tachograph regulations
• Road Transport Working Time Directive
• Transport compliance systems
• Audit framework design
• Compliance reporting and action planning
• Policies, procedures and record keeping
• Driver CPC course design
• Process improvement and management systems

Based in Derbyshire, I am interested in working with local businesses that need a reliable and commercially aware External Transport Manager to help them meet their legal obligations and maintain effective transport systems.
