Company: Road to Logistics
Role: LGV Driver
Ismail Fadul gained an LGV Class C+E licence (to drive maximum weight articulated vehicles) thanks to a training programme organised by Road to Logistics.
Ismail had previously studied for a degree in Mechanical Engineering at St David’s University and a Masters at Swansea University. He joined Tata as a Mechanical Engineering Graduate at the Port Talbot Works.
With the threat of potential redundancies at Port Talbot, he applied to train to gain an LGV Driving Licence and become an LGV Driver. The training programme he enrolled for is organised by Road to Logistics on behalf of Cardiff and Vale College.
The final element of the training, which involves the practical tuition and test, was provided by Crosshands Training of Cwmgwili, Carmarthenshire, who supported Ismail through the process.
Ismail is currently still working for Tata Steel, but should the circumstances change, he is now fully qualified to make the career change to become a professional LGV Driver.
