Veterans into Logistics

Veterans into Logistics provide life-skills and training which leads into stable, long-term employment in the logistics sector. They offer funded HGV driver training which links to employment opportunities with a network of logistics partners including Asda and Muller. The Holistic HGV Pathway into Employment project is open to all Veterans in need; particularly Early Service Leavers and Veterans struggling through underutilisation or convictions.

Major John Harker MBE Retired, Veterans Into Logistics’ General Manager, told us: “Veterans into Logistics is honoured to have been awarded a grant under the Veterans’ Career Development Fund to provide twenty-two Veterans with funded HGV driver training, followed by securing them interviews into secure and well-paid jobs with our logistics partners.

“As Veterans ourselves, we understand the challenges some Veterans experience on return to civilian life – our lived experience coupled with ongoing dialogue with our Veteran learners, logistics partners and the wider Armed Forces community ensures we strive to provide optimum bespoke pastoral support to make each Veterans’ journey into their HGV driving career successful. This fund is a fantastic initiative that will transform the lives of vulnerable Veterans and their families.”
