Businesses involved with the Logistics Academy will be able to access a pool of newly-skilled workers to help their own growth plans and benefit from the exposure gained through running a number of masterclasses, warehouse tours and a place on the Career Ready advisory board.

Assistant Principal at Northampton College, James Whybrow, said: The UK logistics industry is facing a series of challenges which are affecting the ability of the sector to grow and develop as quickly as it might.
