Malcolm Group Trainer Completes Fourth Transaid Secondment

JOHN HEIRS (pictured in the middle), construction training and compliance manager at The Malcolm Group, has returned from his fourth secondment for Transaid, spending two weeks training three new HGV driver trainers at the Industrial Training Centre (ITC) in Lusaka, Zambia.

John’s first three secondments took place at the National Institute of Transport (NIT) in Dar es Salaam in 2015, 2016, and 2020, supporting Transaid’s Professional Driver Training Project in Tanzania.

Reflecting on his first visit to Zambia, John said: “I wanted to deliver a training input that made these driver trainers feel confident in their ability to train others.

The Malcolm Group is a Transaid corporate partner since 2014, providing financial contributions, staff secondments, and vehicle donations, as well as helped staff to participate in Transaid’s cycle challenges, raising funds to support the organisation’s work.

Caroline Barber, chief executive of Transaid, said: “Both John and The Malcolm Group have our sincerest gratitude for sharing their time and expertise. It’s this level of support from our corporate partners which makes the work we do possible, and ultimately helps to transform and save lives.”
