The Academy

In March 2011, Eddie Stobart opened its Training Academy in Widnes, Cheshire. The new facility is dedicated to the training and recruitment of drivers within the business and will also become the central facility for all staff training over the coming months.

The purpose-built facility includes all the equipment and resources required to train our employees to be first class, professional drivers including our indoor practical training area for hands-on experience with our actual units, trailers and in-cab technology.

The site also has three multi-purpose training rooms for employee development courses. One of these rooms is a fully equipped IT training room to cater for Microsoft and PC training as well as system training on our in-house planning software.

The Academy further demonstrates Eddie Stobart’s dedication to exceptional quality and bespoke training for all of its employees and the commitment to producing a world-leading workforce.
