The PCV training deadline arrived in September with many drivers still looking to finish their quota &#8211; this resulted in running\u00a0<strong>ten<\/strong>\u00a0courses in little under four weeks. Recently, we held six consecutive weekend courses so it&#8217;s fair to say that our trainers have earned their Christmas break this year!<\/p>\n<p>Our partnership with Perth College continues to flourish and we have now held over 30 periodic training courses on campus since mid-2011. We have also expanded our range of training venues in Argyllshire where our regional trainer\/consultant David Sutherland has excelled in providing first-class courses &#8211; he even got a round of applause at one session!<\/p>\n<p>Operators continue to utilise our range of compliance solutions to help ensure adherence to regulations and legislation. In addition to our loyal and established client-base, some new businesses have come on board throughout 2013 and we aim to provide them with the same dedicated service.<\/p>\n<p>Towards the end of this year, we have noticed an increase in the number of businesses looking to apply for operator licences and hopefully this is a reflection of better trading conditions in the economy. Applying for a licence can be a substantial financial commitment but it can also be an extremely valuable acquisition.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps most noticeably during this year has been the completion of the company\u2019s rebrand. With the help of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tom-holmes.co.uk\/\">Tom Holmes<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/ramsaymacfarlane.com\/\">Ramsay MacFarlane<\/a>, we&#8217;ve been able to create an identity that we are very pleased with and one that we hope you will grow to recognise in the near future.<\/p>\n<p>2014 promises to be an even better, more exciting year \u2013 we\u2019d love you to be part of our journey and we\u2019d love to be part of yours.<\/p>\n<p>From all at GRT, we would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today marked the end of our 2013 Driver CPC training schedule and it seems like a good time to reflect on what has been a busy and exciting year for&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-214","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-general"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>2013 - A Review - GRT - Road Transport Consultants<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/grtconsultants.com\/new\/2013-review\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"2013 - A Review - GRT - Road Transport Consultants\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Today marked the end of our 2013 Driver CPC training schedule and it seems like a good time to reflect on what has been a busy and exciting year for...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/grtconsultants.com\/new\/2013-review\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"GRT - Road Transport Consultants\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2013-12-18T20:09:47+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2015-10-28T15:36:19+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Scott Robison\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Scott Robison\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/grtconsultants.com\/new\/2013-review\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/grtconsultants.com\/new\/2013-review\/\",\"name\":\"2013 - A Review - GRT - Road Transport Consultants\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/grtconsultants.com\/new\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2013-12-18T20:09:47+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2015-10-28T15:36:19+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/grtconsultants.com\/new\/#\/schema\/person\/fe69ca81a3622d79fdc871214e6fac97\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/grtconsultants.com\/new\/2013-review\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/grtconsultants.com\/new\/2013-review\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/grtconsultants.com\/new\/2013-review\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/grtconsultants.com\/new\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"2013 &#8211;
