About

Logistics is one of the most dynamic and important UK sectors and is often misunderstood. All aspects of the UK economy rely heavily on professional logistics and supply chain operations.

Only when logistics fail do people realise just how intrinsic the Logistics Sector is to the very fabric of our daily way of life.

Skills for Logistics has a total understanding of the Logistics Sector. Our team has worked with our employers and partners to help the sector meet the challenges it is facing. We have researched and developed practical solutions to achieve our model of:

ATTRACT. DEVELOP. SUPPORT.

Certificate To Work (CtW)

The Logistics Sector is facing a huge driver shortage. Between 2010 and 2020, 149,000 new drivers will be needed in the sector. The Certificate to Work is a way of attracting new drivers into the industry no matter what their experience, as they will be able to demonstrate they have the knowledge, competence and skills to be a safe driver.

Driver Shortage Threat To Logistics Industry

Logistics in Northamptonshire employs 45,000 people, but people in the industry say it faces a crisis because of a shortage of qualified lorry drivers. Many Large Goods Vehicle, or LGV, drivers are coming up to retirement age, and its claimed that not enough young people are coming forward to replace them.
