# 2 Start Ltd (Reading)

2 Start Ltd operates a comprehensive training facility in Reading specialising in professional driver and logistics qualifications. Established in 2013, the Reading depot serves individuals and organisations requiring HGV, PCV, and forklift certifications across the South East.

The business caters to aspiring professional drivers, logistics operatives, and companies needing to upskill their workforce. They deliver Category C, C1, C+E and minibus training, alongside essential compliance qualifications like Driver CPC and ADR (dangerous goods). Their logistics division provides extensive forklift training across multiple equipment types, plus IPAF and PASMA certifications for working at heights.

What distinguishes 2 Start is their integrated infrastructure. The Reading facility houses two substantial warehouse spaces ideal for practical logistics training, paired with three modern classrooms including air-conditioned spaces for theory-heavy ADR courses. Critically, they operate their own 3a reversing test area on-site, reducing dependency on external facilities and allowing candidates to practise test routes extensively before their actual Greenham test centre examination.

The site benefits from private on-site parking and complete amenities including reception, refreshment facilities and WC provision—essential for candidates undergoing intensive multi-day courses. Their partnership with the nearby Theale facility enables seamless Category C+E training delivery. The experienced team, led by Branch Manager Clint Steggles and supported by qualified LGV and specialist instructors, ensures professional delivery across all qualifications.
