🚛

10+ Vehicle Fleets

Larger fleets where compliance complexity demands dedicated management, regular PMI analysis, and board-level reporting.

👤

External TM Needed

Operations where the Transport Manager needs professional compliance support — or where TM performance oversight is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Gold and Silver?
Silver provides active compliance management — Gold provides a full compliance partnership. Gold adds a dedicated client manager, DVSA response management, licence amendment support, External TM oversight, PI-readiness with one-click PI packs, PMI & brake test analysis within 48 hours, branded toolbox talks with video training, knowledge tests, weekly compliance reports, and senior management dashboards. Silver covers 7 of 10 risks — Gold covers all 10.
How many vehicles are included in £575/mo?
Up to 4 vehicles are included in the base price. Additional vehicles are £35/month each. All prices are exclusive of VAT. There's no lock-in — it's a monthly agreement you can cancel anytime.
What does "dedicated client manager" mean?
It means a named, qualified Transport Manager is assigned to your operation. They know your fleet, your compliance history, and your risk profile. You don't call a helpline — you contact your client manager directly. They manage your DVSA responses, review your PMI reports, oversee your TM, and ensure your operation meets gold standard at all times.
What is the one-click PI pack?
Your compliance evidence is continuously structured and indexed to PI-ready standard. If you're called to Public Inquiry, one click generates a complete evidence pack — indexed, structured, and ready for hearing. No scrambling, no emergency preparation, no solicitor's fees for evidence compilation. You're prepared from day one.
How does PMI & brake test analysis work?
When you upload PMI reports and brake test results to your vault, your dedicated client manager analyses them within 48 hours (business days). Issues, trends, and concerns are identified and escalated — before they become roadside prohibitions or enforcement triggers. This proactive analysis is one of the most valuable Gold features for fleet operators.
What does External TM oversight include?
Gold includes structured oversight of your Transport Manager's performance — ensuring genuine and continuous management of your operation. This is the standard the Traffic Commissioner expects at hearing. If your TM isn't performing, the oversight framework identifies it before the TC does. For operators named on their own licence, this provides the professional support framework that demonstrates genuine management.
Are DVSA responses and licence amendments really included?
Yes. At Gold level, DVSA correspondence and regulatory responses are managed as part of your subscription — not charged as extras. Licence amendments (operating centre changes, vehicle authorisation, licence variations) are handled by your dedicated client manager. At Bronze and Silver, these would require separate engagement.
What's the PI preparation rate for Gold clients?
Gold clients receive the lowest PI preparation rate at £1,500 — compared to £4,500 for non-clients. That's a £3,000 saving, plus priority queue access. Because your evidence is already PI-ready and managed to gold standard, preparation time is significantly reduced. Silver clients pay £2,500, Bronze clients £3,500.
Can I downgrade if my needs change?
Yes. You can move between tiers at any time — your compliance evidence, history, and vault structure are preserved. If your compliance position stabilises and you need less intensive management, Silver or Bronze may be appropriate. Your dedicated client manager can advise on the right tier for your current needs.
Who are the BFT expert Transport Managers?
BFT Transport Managers hold not only TM qualifications but also tertiary legal and business management qualifications. They understand the regulations, how the Office of the Traffic Commissioner interprets them, how the Upper Tribunal applies them, and how Public Inquiries are conducted. Gold clients get direct access to this expertise through their dedicated client manager.
