About LDP Transport Consultancy
Independent HGV Operator Licence compliance and transport consultancy
LDP Transport Consultancy provides independent HGV Operator Licence compliance and transport consultancy services to operators across Great Britain.
We help HGV operators understand their compliance position, identify risks and strengthen the systems they rely on to meet their Operator Licence responsibilities.
Our approach is practical, evidence-based and focused on helping businesses address issues before they become significant problems. From compliance health checks and independent audits to ongoing assurance and regulatory support, we provide clear advice grounded in the realities of running a transport operation.
A proactive approach to compliance
Compliance shouldn't only be addressed when a problem arises.
LDP takes a proactive approach to HGV Operator Licence compliance, helping operators identify potential risks, understand where their systems could be stronger and take practical action before issues escalate.
We look at the evidence behind your compliance systems and help you understand whether they are working effectively in practice.
This can include reviewing your maintenance systems, driver management, records, compliance monitoring and operator licence undertakings, depending on the needs of your operation.
Our aim is simple: to help you understand where you stand, what needs attention and what you can do next.
Experience you can rely on
LDP Transport Consultancy was founded by Lee Pritchard in 2020, following extensive experience in the road transport industry.
Today, LDP combines practical knowledge of HGV operations with specialist understanding of Operator Licence compliance and regulatory requirements.
We work with HGV operators across Great Britain, providing independent advice and practical support tailored to the circumstances of each operation.
Whether an operator needs a clearer understanding of its current compliance position, is preparing for an audit or regulatory scrutiny, or wants ongoing assurance that its systems remain effective, we focus on providing advice that can be put into practice.
What makes LDP different?
Independent and evidence-based
We assess compliance based on evidence, providing an objective view of where your systems are working effectively and where improvements may be needed.
Practical, not theoretical
Our advice reflects the realities of operating HGVs and managing a transport business. We focus on solutions that can work within your operation.
Clear and straightforward
Compliance can be complicated enough without unnecessary jargon. We explain what matters, why it matters and what you can do about it.
Focused on long-term compliance
We don't just help operators respond to problems. Where appropriate, we help businesses strengthen their systems and maintain effective compliance over time
Our approach
Every transport operation is different, which is why we don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to compliance.
We start by understanding your operation, your Operator Licence and the concerns or challenges you're facing.
From there, we can help you identify the most appropriate level of support — whether that's a compliance health check, independent audit, targeted support or ongoing compliance assurance.
Our work is based on evidence and practical assessment, giving you a clearer understanding of your current position and the actions that may be needed.

A message from Lee Pritchard, Managing Director
I founded LDP Transport Consultancy in 2020 after gaining extensive experience in the transport industry.
I wanted to build a consultancy that gave operators practical, straightforward advice they could genuinely use — rather than making compliance more complicated than it needs to be.
Today, our focus is helping HGV operators understand their Operator Licence responsibilities, identify potential risks and maintain effective compliance systems.
We believe the best compliance support is proactive, independent and grounded in the realities of running a transport business.
That's the approach we bring to every client we work with.
