Gordon J Pownall
I retired from the NHS in June 2023 and seeking to continue and expand my career as an HGV (Class C+E) driver in the UK and Europe.
Whilst I live on the Isle of Wight, I am happy to commute to the mainland and travel as required at short notice to bases / depots nationwide to fulfill any role in the transport industry as a class C or C+E driver.
My particular interests are tramping work, as well as European or long-distance roles (I have significant European driving experience having lived in Germany for 3 years) and I have experience across a diverse range of trailers and loads including :-
· Vacuum Tankers
· Rigid
· Flatbed
· Curtainsiders
· Walking Floors
· Tippers
· Double Decker Curtainsiders
· Containers – 20ft – 45ft
I have also driven Class 2 and smaller goods vehicles including agricultural vehicles.
All the above includes safe operation of the trailers as well as safe load securing / roping and sheeting etc…
I have also undertaken driving assessments successfully and have completed additional training at my own expense to enhance my skills further including specialist complex HGV 1 reversing techniques.
In terms of qualification, I hold :-
· Full C+E LGV licence

· Digital tacho card
· DP World Gateway Certificate (Southampton)
