Working Together to Shape the Future of Logistics 📦🚛

It was great to catch up with Richard James Smith, Managing Director at RHA to discuss how we continue to develop a strong framework for skills within the logistics sector.

Our conversations focused on how we can better support and inspire the next generation to enter the industry, as well as what future pathways into logistics could and should look like.

We’re pleased to have agreed a number of initiatives and look forward to building on this collaboration in the months ahead.

We also reflected on last year’s intergenerational report and how this continues to inform ongoing discussions around workforce development and long-term skills planning.

Thank you to everyone involved for a productive and forward-looking conversation.

Day 4 of | Higher Education Learners

Today we’re celebrating our Higher Education learners at The Bedford College Group.

HTQs are Level 4 (HNC) and Level 5 (HND) qualifications approved by the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education. Developed in collaboration with employers, they ensure students gain the industry-ready skills, knowledge and practical experience needed for their chosen careers.

Our HTQs span a diverse range of sectors, including:

• Care & Early Years
• Computing
• Construction Management
• Counselling
• Engineering
• Photography

💬 Hear from Hannah Rogers, Quantity Surveying HTQ student:

“Throughout my time at Bedford College studying the Quantity Surveying Higher Education course, I’ve gained invaluable skills and knowledge that have helped me progress both in my university application to ARU Chelmsford and in my full-time role as a surveyor.”
