Seetec Outsource named Transport and Logistics Apprenticeship Provider of the Year
Warehousing: considering the risks Whether you are already operating a warehouse or are considering doing so for the first time, there are a range of risks to be addressed in the set-up and day-to-day activity. Recent changes in supply chain thinking, with just-in-time models being reassessed, have led to an increase in demand for local warehousing capacity and additional services that may be met by the freight forwarder. In March 2022, TT Club released a TT Brief considering warehouse risks – www.ttclub.com/news-and- resources/news/tt-talk/2022/tt- talk---tt-brief-warehouse-risks/ . This lists a variety of risk factors including the control of flood and fire risks, security and cargo theft, cargo damage, personal injury, and maintenance and repair of the premises.
A large number of the apprentices attending BIFA training courses as a part of their International Freight Forwarding Specialist (IFFS) apprenticeship are managed by Seetec Outsource, so BIFA was pleased to note that it has been recognised for its work in our industry sector. In March, Seetec Outsource was for the second time named Apprenticeship Provider of the Year for Transport and Logistics at the FE Week and AELP AAC Apprenticeship Awards. The awards are a celebration of excellence in vapprenticeship delivery and are a highlight in the apprenticeship sector calendar, attracting providers, colleges, employers and apprentices from across the UK. Seetec Outsource, part of the employee-owned Seetec Group, was announced as the winner for the
popular Transport & Logistics category, one of 15 awards recognising excellence in apprenticeship provision. To find out more about Seetec Outsource, visit: www.seetecoutsource.co.uk/programme- sector/transport-and-logistics/
