Celio Negrelli

Experienced Transport and Fleet Professional with a background in fleet compliance, vehicle maintenance, and depot operations. Currently working as a Transport Manager / HGV Driver and named Transport Manager on Operator's Licences for three companies. I have a strong practical knowledge of heavy vehicles, DVSA requirements, driver hours and tachograph regulations.

My experience includes carrying out compliance checks, dealing with vehicle defects, managing external repair agents, investigating road traffic incidents and training drivers and depot staff. I am able to relinquish my current Transport Manager responsibilities and act exclusively for DPD if appointed.
