The efficient movement of goods within the UK is crucial to the country's economy. The UK logistics industry is worth over £93 billion to the economy with 1 in 20 working people in the UK being employed in the sector, which equates to 2.3 million people across approximately 196,000 companies.
It is anticipated that there will be hundreds of thousands of vacancies in the transport and logistics industry by 2020 and at present there is a current shortage of skills, meaning that increasing the number of new workers in this sector is essential.
