Road Skills: Committed to transport safety excellence
Road Skills is recognised as one of the UK’s foremost specialists in occupational road safety within the commercial transport sector.
The company was launched in 1991 by managing director David Somers who saw that many operators were not getting the support and training they needed to raise standards and stay compliant.
David now leads a team of consultants and between us we have an unrivalled mix of sector experience, qualifications and knowledge. We deliver a broad range of services, working with operators of all sizes across the UK and into Europe.
The team work closely with our alliance partners, online fleet management specialist FleetCheck and Fleetmaxx Solutions Ltd, leading in-vehicle camera and telematics suppliers. We are closely aligned to the FORS scheme, joining as the third associate to register at the scheme’s inception in 2008.
Road Skills draws on the great depth of knowledge that the team provide with their connections to many of the industry’s leading figures. We also collaborate with leading UK trade associations, insurers, governing agencies and major operators to ensure the advice, guidance and leadership we deliver remains up-to-date and relevant.

Paul Nicholas Carter is known as Nick and has had over 30 years in the haulage business as a Director of his own multi-faceted transport company and, as such, had responsibility for finance, compliance and safety. He was one of the very first hauliers to attain FORS in Yorkshire (that is when he met David) and to achieve ISO 9001& 14001. Nick soon realised David’s system for introducing and maintaining FORS within a business was beneficial on so many levels and easy to use for staff training. It also became apparent that FORS gave him a competitive edge in being able to tender for contracts involving deliveries and specialist haulage projects within London.
David launched Road Skills in 1991 after recognising that too many fleet operators were not getting the training and support they needed to operate safely and profitably.
