Feedback From our Previous Events

We don’t just host events; we convene the experts. From the UK’s largest fleets to specialised industrial heavyweights, the Load Safety Forum is where the sector’s leaders meet to sharpen their operations. Hear directly from the voices shaping the future of transport safety.

Lauren Cramp

Lauren drives the safety agenda for one of the UK’s most complex logistics environments. With over 17 years of HSE experience and several years in strategic leadership, Lauren doesn’t just manage compliance; she engineers culture change. As HSE Director for Travis Perkins, she has built a reputation for delivering tangible incident reduction, proving that rigorous safety standards and operational efficiency go hand in hand.

Her voice at the Forum is crucial because she operates at scale. Lauren brings the perspective of a major national fleet, bridging the gap between boardroom policy and the reality of the builders' merchant yard. We value her insight because Lauren understands the human element of safety - ensuring that the regulations we discuss are practical, enforceable, and effective for the workforce on the ground.

Our Next Speakers

The LSF stage isn’t for career theorists; it’s for the people shaping the reality of road transport. From the DVSA officials writing the enforcement protocols to the engineers defining the physics of load restraint, we convene the industry’s most respected minds. These are the experts bridging the gap between policy and practice - delivering unfiltered insights, legislative forecasts, and technical strategies you can apply to your fleet immediately.

The Upcoming Agenda

This is what high-stakes collaboration looks like. Forget the standard tick-box seminar. A Load Safety Forum agenda is built for impact, stripping away the sales pitches to focus on the pillars of modern haulage: legislation, engineering, and culture. Whether it’s the DVSA outlining future enforcement or British Steel dissecting the physics of lashing capacity, every session is designed to challenge the status quo. With interactive brainstorming and open Q&A, you aren't just an attendee - you're an active participant in shaping the industry standard.
