The operation of commercial vehicles is one of the most highly regulated industries in the economy. To help those operating these vehicles in Northern Ireland, Logistics UK’s highly respected annual Transport Manager conference returns to Belfast this autumn, helping operators to stay informed about current regulations, avoid penalties and maintain a safe, legally compliant fleet. 

Logistics UK’s Transport Manager 2026 conference will return to Culloden Hotel and Spa, Belfast on Wednesday 30 September, providing all the information and advice on upcoming legislation that busy transport managers need.

With its own programme tailored specifically for the logistics industry in Northern Ireland, the conference includes a line-up of expert senior industry speakers, including representatives of the Driver and Vehicle Agency (DVA), Transport Regulation Unit (TRU), Health and Safety Executive Northern Ireland (HSENI), Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI), the Diabetes Safety Organisation, Aware NI and Weightmans, as well as Logistics UK’s Member Advice Centre and other experts.

Ben Fletcher, Logistics UK’s Chief Executive said: “Operating vehicle fleets is a complex and responsible job which needs constant attention to stay up to date with the latest developments in legislation. Anyone responsible for the operation of vehicle fleets in Northern Ireland should come along to this exclusive conference to hear the latest compliance and legislative advice, as well as useful industry insights and wellbeing guidance to help transport managers remain within the law and safely manage their operations in the year to come. I suggest anyone interested in attending books their place as soon as possible, as places are filling up fast for this popular event.”
