We do things differently here…
Veterans into Logistics is a charity that provides vulnerable veteran cohorts with a unique, supported pathway of fully funded HGV driver training into secure, skilled employment with our world leading logistics partners.
We are ex-military and understand the difficulties too many veterans experience after leaving the British Armed Forces – they deserve better!
Our model is innovative because it is specifically tailored to veterans, who thanks to their experiences and history in service means they have unique needs and challenges that our work specifically works with to address and mitigate. We embrace their skills that make them ideal for logistics careers, including dependable, diligent and respond well under pressure.
The UK has a chronic shortage of HGV drivers that affects 96% of UK businesses – if you are a veteran looking for a stable, well-paid career, or a logistics company seeking loyal and skilled drivers, contact us today!
Your new career is one click away
Our mission is to minimise and reduce veteran poverty, unemployment, homelessness and poor mental health through tangible support.
Our focus is on building lasting partnerships with respected logistics companies to provide skilled, professional drivers they can trust.
Ex-Queen’s Lancashire Regiment
Steven Eden
I am ex-military having served in the Queens Lancashire Regiment and I would like to take this opportunity to share my story so that other veterans read it and know there is support if you reach out for it.
For the past few years, I have been suffering with depression which led to me losing my self-esteem resulting in being unemployed for a long time. It was when I was at my lowest point that I went to Wigan Armed Forces HQ to see fellow veteran Andy Powell for support, it was during our conversation of how I can get self-esteem back into my life, I explained I always wanted to be a LGV Class 1 driver like my brother.
We guide you throughout your journey
From first contact you will be able to speak to a member of our team who are highly skilled at supporting you uniquely through your training – from liaising with you to book your training and tests, to discussing your future employment needs so that we can support you into your new career once you gain your HGV licence, on to financial security and indepencence.
