Yusen have a longstanding relationship with Fleetmaster as an MHE and LGV training provider. This has developed further during 2019 into a successful integrated partnership with Yusen providing SAFED DCPC training under Fleetmaster’s consortium. This has involved collaboration and trust, which has been reciprocated by both parties, and has further strengthened our working relationship. Fleetmaster has an attentive account manager who’s personal suggestion of consolidating our CPC and on-road assessment, through the SAFED programme, has saved Yusen significant sums of money.

As a company we have been associated with Fleetmaster since 2011. As a training provider they have always put the needs of our business first and foremost in their approach to tailoring any training packages towards our requirements and needs, this is a testament to the skill and knowledge within their company as before this time we found that there were far too many companies available in the market place that were trying to force us to accept that our requirements were the same as everybody else’s and that one cap fits all.

Due to their industry knowledge, friendly staff, dedication to customer service and the variety of training available. I can envisage that our mutually beneficial association will continue for many years to come and would highly recommend anyone seeking a training provider to avail themselves of their services.
