In this episode, we’re BACK for 2026, launching the new year with a high-impact discussion on the road regulatory and compliance issues operators need to be thinking about right now.

Our expert panel sets the tone for the year ahead, exploring how recent developments in transport law, people management and regulatory enforcement could affect operators across the goods and PSV sectors – and what practical steps can be taken to stay compliant, resilient and commercially focused.

We cover:

• The impact of convictions and what must be notified to the Traffic Commissioner
• Challenging Traffic Commissioner decisions, including appeals to the Upper Tribunal
• From compliance to capital value – key considerations when preparing to sell your business
• People management in focus – a deeper dive into the Employment Rights Act
• Key risks, challenges and opportunities operators should have on their radar for 2026

A new year brings new challenges – and new opportunities. This episode is designed to help operators start 2026 with clarity, confidence and a clear view of the road ahead.
