🌟 GOOD MORNING EVERYONE — WHAT A WEEK! 🌟

We hope you’ve all had a fantastic week and are looking forward to a well-deserved weekend! 🙌

It’s been another incredibly busy and successful week for our learners, with more people progressing through their training, passing their theory tests and successfully completing their Module 3a reversing — with 100% of our learners passing! 🚛👏

But the exciting news doesn’t stop there…

💰 We’ve been awarded additional funding to support even more LGV licences, giving us the opportunity to help more people gain new skills, build confidence and, most importantly, move into sustainable employment and life-changing careers.

None of this would be possible without the continued support of our amazing partner, Essex County Council. 🤝❤️

And there’s even more exciting news — we now have a national employer on board who is actively looking to recruit newly qualified LGV drivers! 🚛💼

This is exactly why we do what we do — changing lives, opening doors and creating real employment opportunities.

A massive well done to all our learners for their hard work this week. Your success is our success! 👏👏

Have a fantastic weekend everyone! ☀️

Then it’s back to it next week… the hard work continues, more licences, more opportunities and more lives changed! 💪🚛

🚛 Another Amazing Week of Success! 🎉

Hello everyone! 👋

We hope you’ve all had a fantastic week!

It’s been another busy and hugely successful week across both our Essex and Midlands driving schools. 🚛💨

We’ve had learners pass their LGV1 first time, with just one minor between them — absolutely fantastic results! 👏👏

We’ve also had learners successfully complete their Module 3a and Module 4, getting themselves ready for their tests next week. 💪

But the most amazing part of the week has to be our learners moving straight into employment! 🙌

🔥 One learner secured a contract of employment less than 24 hours after passing their LGV1!

🔥 Another has already secured an interview!

This is exactly why we do what we do — helping people build careers, change their lives and create opportunities for the future. ❤️

And the work doesn’t stop there!

We’re incredibly proud to have placed two of our learners into International Freight Forwarding positions, and they’re both really looking forward to starting their new careers. 📦🌍✈️

📢 Apprenticeship Opportunities Available!

We currently have:

🚦 Level 2 Traffic Office Apprenticeship – West Horndon

📦 Level 2 Warehouse & Storage Apprenticeship – Basildon

If you’re looking for your next opportunity, get your CV over to us today and I’ll get it passed on to our employers and work towards getting you an interview next week.

Your next career opportunity could be just around the corner! 🚀

A massive well done to all our learners this week, and as always, thank you to our fantastic employer partners for continuing to work with us and helping us create real career opportunities. 👏

Have an amazing weekend, enjoy the weather ☀️ and, most importantly, stay safe!

We hope you’re having a fantastic week! 🙌 We’re halfway there now — the weekend is officially on the horizon! 😎🎉

And what a busy week it’s been already…

🔥 Yesterday we didn’t just secure ONE new client — we secured TWO! 🔥

Both businesses are looking to work with us to bring in newly qualified LGV drivers, and we’re also in discussions about taking on apprentices across both Essex and the Midlands.

This is exactly what we’re working towards — creating real opportunities, real careers and real pathways into the logistics industry for our learners. 🚛💨

From LGV drivers to apprenticeships, we’re continuing to build strong relationships with employers who are prepared to invest in the next generation of logistics professionals.

📣 And we’re always looking for more businesses to work with!

If your company is looking to recruit, train or invest in new talent, we’d love to hear from you. Let’s work together to create amazing opportunities for our learners across Essex & the Midlands. 🤝

🚛🔥 ANOTHER BIG DAY FOR LGV & LOGISTICS! 🔥🚛

What a day! We’ve had another learner pass their LGV1 in the Midlands — FIRST TIME! 🎉👏

Huge congratulations! You’ve put the hard work in, and today you’ve taken a massive step towards your new career behind the wheel. Well done! 👏🚛

And there’s even more exciting news…

🤝 NEW EMPLOYER PARTNERSHIP — RAINHAM, ESSEX

We’ve had a fantastic meeting with a new employer in Rainham, Essex, who is keen to work with the college to help bring through the next generation of LGV drivers.

What makes this partnership really exciting is their approach. They don’t just want learners to pass the DVSA test — they want to spend time developing real-world commercial reversing skills, making sure new drivers understand how to reverse safely and confidently in an actual working environment. 🚛💪

That’s going to be massive for our learners and give them valuable experience that goes beyond simply passing a test.

They’re also looking at recruiting our “Warehouse to Wheels” Apprenticeships — a route that is fast becoming one of our most popular programmes! 📦➡️🚛

It’s a fantastic way to get your foot in the door, learn the logistics business from the ground up and work towards becoming an LGV driver.

🔥 WE ALSO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY AVAILABLE! 🔥

We currently have ONE Level 3 International Freight Forwarder apprenticeship vacancy in Whitman that we want to fill.

If you don’t want to go back to school but still want to learn, earn and build a career, this could be a fantastic opportunity for you.
