Richard has worked at the Tata Steel plant in Trostre, Llanelli for fifteen years. He is currently employed as a team member in the production operations and his duties include operating an overhead crane and driving a pick up on site.
Although Richard prefers a ‘hands-on’ method of training he found the online LGV theory test training easy to pick up and convenient for him to log on and learn between shifts. He passed his LGV theory test first time on 31st January 2025.
Pictured here is Richard along with the vehicle he learnt on.
Richard is now qualified to drive an articulated or drawbar vehicle up to the maximum gross train weight of 44 tonnes. He has the possible option of working for his uncle at M&R Commercials of Swansea but has also made enquiries regarding other possible employers for LGV drivers in South Wales.
Richard looks forward to this possible career change and the opportunity to visit different parts of the UK.
