Wayne Barrett

I am a qualified External Transport Manager providing practical, hands-on compliance support to operators throughout the East Midlands and surrounding regions.

Having worked in the transport industry for over 25 years, I understand that compliance needs to work alongside the day-to-day demands of running a business. My aim is to help operators remain compliant, reduce risk and avoid the costly consequences of enforcement action while keeping vehicles on the road.

I currently act as External Transport Manager for multiple Standard National and Standard International licence holders, supporting businesses operating in construction, general haulage and specialist motorsport transport. I work closely with operators, drivers and maintenance providers to ensure systems are effective rather than simply existing on paper.

My services include:

• External Transport Manager appointments
• Operator licence applications and variations
• Compliance audits and health checks
• OCRS improvement strategies
• Driver hours and tachograph compliance
• Driver defect reporting systems
• Maintenance and inspection management
• Driver recruitment and induction
• Transport policies and procedures
• Public Inquiry preparation and compliance improvement

As a Member of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (MILT), I believe in providing honest, practical advice based on current legislation and DVSA guidance.

If your business needs an External Transport Manager, whether for a new operator's licence, replacing an existing TM or strengthening your compliance systems, I am happy to discuss your requirements without obligation.

My approach is simple: build robust compliance systems, support operators before problems arise and provide professional advice that protects both your business and your operator's licence.
