Recommendation

  • Lesley has been a great inspiration to me and I am sure many others. She shares her knowledge, passion and is very supportive to help others to be successful. Lesley started Freight People which is how I know her. The face to face meetings were great but the online sessions have just been as good. Her knowledge about the transport industry is amazing and she always shares her experiences – good and bad. She is extremely open, honest and has empathy with others. Anyone in transport should join Freight People where we share best practice and ideas. Freight People also goes towards your CPD.

  • Lesley has created an amazingly modern forum which generates people’s interest in contributing on a really wide range of subjects of common interest. The Freight People agendas are so good, presentations of such a high calibre and discussions so forward thinking that the forums have become simply unmissable.  Road Skills Online is focused on solutions to help forward thinking businesses in the 21st century and we therefore did not want to miss an opportunity to engage and become a 2021 sponsor.’

  • Lesley and her team excel in engaging with people who have a passion for developing and growing in the hard industry of transport and logistics and in involving those who wish to contribute. The forums provide information to ensure that we continuously improve, challenge our opinions and encourage one another to excel. I must personally thank Lesley also for being a good sounding board and feel honoured to participate in some exciting and very thought provoking topics. Keep up the great work.
