British Sugar supports Abbey’s class 2 to 1 programme

Following on from the success of Abbey Logistics’ Class 2 to Class 1 HGV driver programme, Abbey’s customer British Sugar has launched its own ‘earn while you learn’ Class 2 to Class 1 driver training which is designed and managed by Abbey’s Driver Training Team and will be run alongside Abbey’s existing Class 2 to 1 programme.

The training is being launched this month and British Sugar is calling on Class 2 drivers in Norfolk, Suffolk and Nottinghamshire, who are interested in obtaining their Class 1 licence, to get in touch.

The course offers fully paid training with a guaranteed HGV driver role on successful completion and is a mix of classroom and practical, on-the-road learning.

Since Abbey launched its new training course earlier this year, the company has received hundreds of enquiries from Class 2 drivers, keen to make the move into Class 1 driving.

Several drivers have already passed through Abbey’s training and successfully obtained their Class 1 licence and are now working for Abbey across the UK.

The new training package is designed to future proof British Sugar’s supply chain and provide secure and long-term jobs for drivers interested in becoming Class 1 qualified.
