Owens Group is pleased to announce a new partnership with Road Safety Smart Ltd, led by Managing Director Andrew Drewary, as part of our ongoing commitment to improving safety and performance across our business.
Road Safety Smart is a UK-based road safety consultancy that specialises in helping fleet operators reduce risk through education, behaviour-focused training and proactive safety culture development. Their approach goes beyond traditional compliance, emphasising engagement and learning to help drivers and organisations operate more safely and effectively on the road.
As part of this partnership, all Owens Group drivers and relevant staff are undertaking safety-critical awareness training delivered by Road Safety Smart. The programme is designed to strengthen hazard perception, reinforce best-practice driving behaviours and deepen understanding of risk management on the road. It also includes modules on driver health, wellbeing and incident analysis — all aimed at preventing collisions and protecting both our people and other road users.
“Driving is one of the most hazardous tasks that many employees undertake, and proactive training plays a vital role in keeping our people safe, partnering with Road Safety Smart allows us to build a stronger safety culture, improve the skills and awareness of all drivers, and support our ongoing objective of delivering excellence for customers and communities alike” – Emyr Owen, Group Operations Director.
The training rollout will be complemented by ongoing support and capability building across the business, ensuring safety best practices are embedded into daily operations and decision-making. This collaboration aligns with Owens Group’s focus on continual improvement, risk reduction and operational resilience across its expanding fleet and services.
