Case Study: Fagan & Whalley (previously Alan R Jones)

Updated: Aug 23

A family business with nearly 100 years on the road, Fagan & Whalley has a tradition of delivering logistical solutions for their customers that include transport, distribution, warehousing and more…


Customer service is at the core of the business. The bespoke logistics solutions they offer are tailored to customer needs, using industry expertise to provide a service that is an extension of the customers business as opposed to an off the shelf service.


Their expanding loyal customer base over the years has been down to the dedication and commitment to their core values: Tradition, Driving, Innovation.


Commitment to High Standards


In order to maintain high standards for their loyal customer base, Fagan & Whalley searched for a training company who shared their core values. With a reputation for quality training and excellent customer service, Commercial Operator Training Solutions Ltd was the perfect fit.

“It’s great to work with other businesses who share the same values as COTS. Fagan & Whalley (previously Alan R Jones) are committed to continually developing their business and we’re proud to be a part of that process. We’ve been able to support Fagan & Whalley (previously Alan R Jones) in various aspects of their business including Driver Handbook Development, Driver CPC training, as well as our transport manager courses.
