This month, we’re celebrating two standout members of our transport team. Darren Berry and Jerry Taylor whose dedication, leadership, and teamwork have made a real difference to how we recruit, train, and develop our drivers.
Both Darren and Jerry have been instrumental in shaping and implementing a new strategy for driver recruitment and training, helping us continue to build on the strong foundations of our transport division. Their professionalism and commitment ensure that every new driver joining Plantforce is given the tools, guidance, and confidence they need to succeed from day one.
From supporting candidates during their initial working interviews to offering one-to-one mentoring once they’re on the job, Darren and Jerry take a hands-on approach to training that reflects their genuine investment in people. They go beyond just teaching the technical aspects of the job, they pass on our company values, safety standards, and the teamwork that defines the way we operate.
Their efforts haven’t just strengthened our onboarding process, they’ve also enhanced the sense of unity and pride across the entire transport team. By sharing their knowledge and experience, they’ve helped new drivers feel part of something bigger, while ensuring our customers continue to receive the reliable, first-class service we’re known for.
Beyond their mentoring roles, Darren and Jerry consistently set the example through their own day-to-day work, demonstrating professionalism, reliability, and a can-do attitude, no matter the challenge. Their commitment to excellence and willingness to help others grow make them a true asset.
Darren and Jerry, thank you for always going the extra mile, both on and off the road.
