Work Experience in the Warehouse
One of the areas where I don’t spend enough of my time is our transit warehouse and transport department in London. I would like to thank Tom Foster for arranging a day where I could work with the team, which included unloading a couple of groupage containers.
What I did see first hand, is what I am being told by my management, in that we have a close team doing a great job. The warehouse and transport departments are often overlooked but they extremely important and integral part of our business and I had a really enjoyable day.
When I next see clients like Ben Sherman or Gant I can honestly say I did take care of their shipments and I have a bad back to show for it. Thanks again to Tom and the team for doing a great job for our clients.

As someone who has worked for major logistic companies as a consultant, I couldn't agree with you more - the only way to truly understand the operations is to get down on the shop floor & get your hands dirty. Another good thing to do is go out with the drivers - see the issues they have. Without the drivers & the warehouse staff, you wouldn't be able to pick-up or deliver anything.
