Toptech was pleased to welcome Mr. Jason Finch, a Project Manager from Transaid, UK to our office at the beginning of June 2021 to discuss their newly launched programme to enhance Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) driver training standards in Ghana.
Transaid is an international development NGO with over 20 years of experience working in the transport and logistics sector. They have a significant amount of experience in developing HGV training standards at a national and regional level, and strengthening driver training capacity with partner training institutions across Africa.
As one of Ghana’s leading driver training institutions, Toptech has welcomed this initiative, and is keen to see it succeed. Speaking about the programme, Mr. Cecil Garbrah, Toptech Executive Director, commented that ‘our professional drivers are the lifeblood of our economy, and this initiative will help ready our transporter sector for the next phase of our national growth, while improving road safety across the country’.
Toptech is set to support Transaid in the development of the new HGV driver training standard for HGV drivers, and we call on the those working in the professional driver training space to rally behind this programme.
