THE INSTITUTE of Transport Managers has broken with the previously Dublin based organisation and has set up 14 new regions in the United Kingdom.
The new headquarters of the Institute are in Bristol. It has a membership of 1,300, 400 of whom have been recruited under the new organisation.
The Institute says its objects are to raise the standards of educational attainment. It plans to offer training courses through existing organisations to achieve its aims.
The chairman, R and S Storage and Distribution Ltd of Bristol managing director R. W. D. Smith, told CM: "We believe that the CPC is much too easy to obtain and has been devalued.
'While we agree that grandfathers' rights were necessary to get the scheme off the -ground, we now feel that those of us who got exemption should be required to qualify for renewal inside a period of five years at a maximum.
The Institute is also concerned over salary levels in the industry where -the cost per mile for a manager is less than
1p while tyres are closer to 6 pence". Mr Smith said they are preparing a salary structure related to academic qualifications, experience and fleet size.
The Institute says it is not planning to supersede either the professional or trade bodies. Its aims is to influence and bring pressure to bear on both government and industry to improve the standard of transport management.
Mr Smith said that many of the ITM members hold corporate membership of CIT and IRTE, whose functions in his view are different from ITM. The Institute can be contacted at Pengo House, 131 Duckmoor Road, Bristol, BS3 2BG.
