Founded by transport operators who understand restricted operator compliance firsthand
Hughes FleetGuard Compliance was founded by Neulla and Lee Hughes, both experienced transport operators and CPC-qualified transport professionals. We didn't start as consultants - we started as operators, just like you.
We know what it's like to lie awake at night worrying about DVSA. We know the feeling of drowning in paperwork while trying to actually run a business. We know what it's like to get quotes from traditional Transport Managers and think "£800 a month? For five vehicles?"
Here's what we discovered: Nobody was serving restricted operators properly.
External Transport Managers focus on standard licence holders with larger fleets - that's where the money is. Compliance software companies build platforms for national hauliers with hundreds of trucks. And restricted operators with 1-10 vehicles? You don't need an External TM (and legally shouldn't delegate control anyway), but you do need professional compliance monitoring & assurance. Nobody was providing that specific service.
That's why we built Hughes FleetGuard Compliance. We're not trying to be External Transport Managers. We're not trying to take control of your compliance. We provide monitoring and assurance - helping you actively manage compliance with professional support.
We're the UK's only service that exclusively serves restricted operators with 1-10 vehicles - providing early-warning monitoring reviewed by CPC-qualified transport professionals. Not software alone. Not operational control. Professional compliance monitoring & assurance that keeps you in charge while giving you expert insight.
We use technology to handle routine monitoring - expiry alerts, daily walkarounds, document storage. But CPC-qualified transport professionals review all the data and flag risks. Real people with transport expertise who understand what DVSA is looking for - providing insight while you stay in control.
Not software. Not a Transport Manager. Professional compliance monitoring & assurance for restricted operators.
We're not "also" serving restricted operators alongside bigger fleets. We EXCLUSIVELY serve 1-10 vehicle restricted operations - and we're the only compliance service in the UK doing this. When you work with us, you're not competing for attention with a 100-vehicle operation. You're our ideal client.
We automate 90% of routine compliance monitoring - expiry tracking, walkaround checklists, document storage. This means our CPC-qualified transport professionals can focus on reviewing data and flagging risks, keeping costs down without cutting corners.
CPC-qualified transport professionals review all compliance data. Not software algorithms. Not "AI-powered" automation. Real professionals who understand what DVSA expects - providing insight and recommendations while you remain fully in control.
