HGV Training in Wales

Wales has a diverse economy with several key industries that rely heavily on HGV drivers for the movement of goods, materials, and equipment. Completing your HGV training in Wales can open up job opportunities across a variety of sectors, including:

• Manufacturing and Heavy Industry – Steelworks, engineering firms, and manufacturers in Cardiff, Newport, and Port Talbot rely on skilled logistics and haulage.
• Agriculture and Food Production – HGV drivers are vital for moving livestock, produce, and supplies across rural Wales and beyond.
• Forestry and Timber – Operations in Powys and Gwynedd depend on qualified drivers to transport timber safely and efficiently.
• Construction and Infrastructure – Ongoing projects across Wales create steady demand for drivers delivering materials and equipment.
• Ports and Logistics – Ports like Holyhead and Newport require experienced drivers for local and international freight transport.

Whether you’re based in Cardiff, North Wales, or along the south coast, our expert trainers can support you at every stage of your journey — from your first lesson right through to test day at a local DVSA-approved centre.
