Enterprise Transport Training is one of the UK’s largest driver training organisations. Enterprise was launched in the 1990s by North West based employers to combat the driver shortage through providing licence acquisition training. Whilst staying loyal to our roots (we are still one of the country’s largest LGV training schools) the network expanded geographically and evolved to meet the growing requirement for classroom based training for both Drivers and Transport Managers to reflect the emphasis being placed on increasing safety and compliance with the transport industry. The Covid enforced move to a greater volume of online training has been embraced and with the exception of a few days at Christmas online courses run every day of the year. Our business is staffed by industry professionals. With, in excess of 20 qualified Transport Managers in our organisation we aim to support our clients across the whole of the UK through our knowledge and professionalism. The objective today is the same as it was 25 years ago - to increase the pool of highly skilled drivers and transport managers by making quality training widely available at a fair price.

The school has existed in different guises since 1882; initially it was known as Urmston Science and Arts School and was based on Flixton Road with 64 pupils. Its name changed to Urmston Higher Grade Elementary School in 1884 and the building was extended to Ross Grove. The name Urmston Grammar School was first used in 1923; when the independent school had 228 fee paying students. Fees were dropped after the introduction of the 1944 Education Act, which guaranteed free education for every child in England and Wales. In 1929 Urmston Grammar School moved from Ross Grove to our current site. Urmston Grammar was initially a co-educational school until the 1960s when the local authority decided to created two single sex schools. This was not popular with the students who held a silent protest and walked through the streets of Urmston to try and maintain their co-educational establishment. However, the local authority went ahead with their plans and Urmston Grammar School for Boys was built at Bradfield Road and opened in 1961; the Girls School remained on the Newton Road site.
