Highly recommend. Ross was very professional, friendly and responsive to any queries we had with regards sourcing an external transport manager and applying for our operators licence. It was clear from the start he had lots of experience and was very knowledgeable, making the whole process much easier and less daunting. Thank you!
I give this company a lot of credit. I initially asked them to find me a Transport Manager. When I paid their fee they were very quick to get to work. I did have a friend that got back to me once I paid this company in full that advised he could be my Transport Manager. I contacted this company again and advised my changed circumstances and the Director gave me a full refund without hesitation within a few hours on paying the invoice to commence work for me. I was very impressed with this honestyI was treated with the up most respect. They understood my requirements and they were very professional to deal with.I will ensure everybody finds out that this is a good company to deal with on Transport Manager placements and Operator Licence application assistance.I would certainly use them if my friends Transport Manager doesn’t work out.
Got in touch with Leafes Logistics Limited to find me a external transport manager and I would like to say that they did that in no time.Within couple of days they sorted everything out for me.And what I really liked that they were professional and responsive and that gives you some kind of reinsurance when for example you will send them email asking a question and you will get answer straight away.I would highly recommend Leafe's Logistics Limited to anyone out there.
Would have no problem in recommending this agencies services, even over the festive period they returned every query and message, and true to their word as soon as everyone was back at work, they had us a good selection of Transport Managers to choose from, one of which will be appointed next week, I would highly recommend.

Ross will help guide you through all the stages of your application and help with any transport management issues.When I first started as a transport manager I was given a small, one vehicle, operators licence so that I could handle my work load, as well as getting used to the clients working practices. It can be daunting when you first qualify and this helped build my confidence.Ross has excellent communication skills, as an operator my companies have used Leafes Logistics to assist within our operations. Ross is always at the end of the phone, an email or even on your site to ensure you are up to date and everything is running how it should.Ross completes various due diligence checks with both the operator and transport manager to ensure everyone is compliant throughout the whole process.If you are looking to work with a professional then give Ross from Leafes Logistics a call!

The owner of the company is very professional and very informative. Thank you for all your help. Certainly recommend anyone who needs guidance in this industry to contact Ross and the team.
Ross has been absolutely brilliant. Made the process so easy for us and got the licence in a great time scale considering many requests for additional information etc. Highly recommend Leafes Logistics.
RSH Logistics highly recommended Ross, he has assisted us in finding a Transport Manager and in making the process very easy for us.
Highly recommended. Professional, friendly service. Super fast and easy contact. Promised to provide local to me External Transport manager within 3 days but received few recommendations within few hours. After few phone calls managed to formally start cooperation with new TM same day !!
Applying for an Operators License can be so daunting with so much paperwork and a lot needed. We wanted to get everything right first time to avoid delays and extra fees so we gave Ross at Leafes Logistics a call.Best decision ever! He has made the process look quick and easy even though it definitely is not. He even managed to get our license turned around ahead of expected timeframes. When Ross called to say we had been successful, we thought it was our interim but no... it was the full license!!Ross has been a pleasure to work with. He has kept us in the loop with everything going on and helped us through every step. We cannot recommend him enough and will definitely use his services again with any further applications.We're very grateful for everything you have done and cannot thank you enough, you were so patient with us through issues that were no fault of yours and we really appreciate that. We look forward to working with you again in the future

Ross is a great guy and couldn’t have been more helpful when applying for my O licence. Dealing with the DVSA was difficult but he made the whole process a lot easier and nothing was too much trouble for him. No matter what time I contacted him he was professional and efficient. I can’t recommend him highly enough.
Very impressed with Leafe’sThey have taken all the stress out of applying for our operators licenseDon’t go pass them 👍🏻
I would absolutely recommend Ross & Leafes Logsictic to any company. Ross had provided us with a number of services as an SME with no local expertise in this area. Ross helped us source 2 external Transport Managers for our sites. Ross also managed the full process when applying for a National Operators Licence which has been very easy and smooth. We had an initial call with Ross to discuss our needs and he was able advise us in order to get the best possible outcome. Following the initial discussion Ross provided us with an auditor to review and correct our current practices and who has now become a vital contact for us.

As the director / CEO of "Customised Travel Limited" I can recommend the services provided by "Ross Leafe / Leafes Logistics Limited".The area I am in suffers a incredible shortage of PSV Transport Managers (Or there in good ones !). The screening process done by Ross is second to none as the Transport Manager I have acquired (Not a easy task) with his help is superb.Andrew KosickiCustomised Travel Limited
