The RTITB Academy has invested in two MAN tractor units for its training academy in Telford, Shropshire.

The organisation sees the new equipment as an active investment into the local economy through enhanced driver and instructor training and business opportunities.

As well as delivering its own range of instructor and LGV driver training courses, the RTITB Academy works with employers to develop courses that meet their particular requirements or address a specific need. This helps to ensure the realisation of the benefits that can be brought about by modest investment in training.

“As a local business, we aim to invest in the local economy and have high targets for the amount of training and the quality of training we provide,” said Laura Nelson, the organisation’s recently appointed MD.  “We strive to provide quality services as well as succeeding as a business through contributions to the local and wider communities. The two new tractor units will help us continue to provide top quality training.”

RTITB (formerly the Road Transport Industry Training Board) has been providing high quality training in the transport, warehousing and logistics industries for over 40 years. The company provides businesses and individuals with the knowledge and experience to provide their own training. RTITB provides courses and training to over 130,000 operators and instructors in the industry every year.
