Dr. Grant Charlesworth-Jones, Chairman of the D4Group is uniquely qualified as both a GP and a Barrister, bringing a wealth of experience from the medical, legal, and occupational health fields. His diverse background inspired him to create D4Drivers, now the UK's largest provider of driver health assessments and D4Health, specialists in Occupational Health for the transport and logistics sector.
Driven by a passion for improving road safety, he also spearheaded the Driving Better Health charity, which has garnered widespread industry support. In collaboration with Loughborough University, the charity is leading groundbreaking research into how occupational driving impacts the health of professional drivers. Through these efforts, Dr. Charlesworth-Jones is dedicated to advocating for more proactive and regular driver health interventions, making a strong case for improved safety regulations on the road.
As a Professor of Active Living and Public Health, Stacy has led a large programme of research, focusing on hard-to-reach and at-risk occupational groups – particularly commercial drivers. This research led to the development of the Structured Health Intervention For Truckers (SHIFT) – a multicomponent programme for HGV drivers designed to promote physical activity and positive lifestyle changes. Stacy is passionate about promoting health and wellbeing, and hopes the SHIFT programme, and other initiatives they are working on, will have a long-term positive impact on commercial drivers’ health.
