Geoff
At Lifft, we’re always proud to see our trainees go on to do amazing things in the transport industry - Geoff is a perfect example. After years of working in different roles, Geoff made the bold decision to change careers and train as an HGV driver. Today, he’s not only enjoying life on the road, but also travelling across Europe in his new role as a Class 1 driver.
Geoff came to us with a clear vision of what he didn’t want: a desk job. “I’ve done a variety of jobs in my time, but I’ve always known I couldn’t spend eight hours a day behind a desk,” he told us. With a passion for driving and a longstanding interest in trucks, HGV driving felt like the obvious next step - and we’re thrilled he chose to train with us.
His decision to join The HGV Training School wasn’t random. Geoff did his research and discovered the school through the popular TV show Queen of the Trucks. “From then on, you were always top of the list,” he said. “I always prefer family-run businesses where possible, because you usually get better service and care - and that was absolutely true here. The whole team genuinely wanted to see me succeed.”
It didn’t take long for Geoff’s hard work to pay off. Within a month of passing his test, he had not one, but two full-time Class 1 job offers. He chose to work for a family-run company - something that aligned with his values - and it turned out to be an excellent decision.
Geoff’s job in international events logistics takes him all over Europe. “I’m parked up in Austria as I type this,” he shared recently. “Over the last month I’ve been to France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, and Germany too. What other job lets you see that much of the world?”
Geoff has one clear message for anyone thinking about training as an HGV driver: “Just go for it. Don’t let anyone put you off. And once you’ve passed, put the same amount of effort into finding the right job as you did into your training. Don’t stop until you get exactly what you want.”
We couldn’t agree more. Geoff’s story is a testament to what’s possible with the right mindset, the right training, and a passion for the open road. We’re proud to have been part of his journey - and we can’t wait to see where the road takes him next.
