THS Training – THS Announces Partnership with TLS to Support Workforce Development at Scale

THS Training is pleased to announce a new partnership with TLS, one of the UK’s leading providers of managed traffic management support services. TLS currently has over 1,500 operatives on its books and supplies skilled personnel to some of the largest traffic management companies in the country.

With such a large and continually growing workforce, maintaining an accurate, compliant and future-focused training matrix is essential. THS Training has now linked up with TLS to manage and oversee this matrix, ensuring all operatives remain current, competent, and consistently progressing through the structured pathways required within the industry.

Supporting Skills, Compliance and Career Progression

By taking responsibility for the training matrix, THS Training will monitor qualifications, expiries, renewals and development routes for TLS operatives. This ensures each worker remains fully certified and prepared for site requirements, while also identifying opportunities for individuals to advance into higher roles.

This collaboration reflects the shared commitment between both organisations to create clear, meaningful career pathways for new entrants, trainees and progressing operatives.

Meeting the Industry’s Demand for Quality Operatives

With some of the UK’s major traffic management firms relying on TLS for a consistent supply of competent personnel, THS Training recognises the importance of delivering high-quality, fully compliant operatives who can step onto site with confidence.

For THS, managing the TLS training matrix is not just an administrative function—it is a core service designed to support industry standards. By overseeing training, renewals and development milestones, THS helps maintain a workforce that reflects professionalism, safety and operational readiness.

THS Managing Director Gavin Kershaw commented:

“The UK’s largest TM companies depend on TLS to supply reliable and well-trained operatives. By managing their training matrix, we can directly support that expectation. Our goal is to produce quality, competent individuals who are fully prepared for the demands of the job.”

Working Hand-in-Hand

The partnership also strengthens THS Training’s ongoing approach of working closely with its client base. Regular feedback, communication and visibility of training needs help shape the curriculum, allowing THS to align its training delivery with real-world industry requirements.

By supporting TLS in this way, THS Training continues its mission to elevate competency, professionalism and structured development within traffic management. This helps both individual operatives and the wider industry move forward with confidence about the quality of work going on across our network on a daily and nightly basis.

TLS MD Paul Chamley added:

“I’ve known Gavin and THS for a long time and they’re a highly thought of organisation, doing things the right way and come with a fantastic reputation. For us, trusting them with the quality of our operatives learning and industry knowledge is something we have full faith in and we’re excited for what’s to come.”
