Logistics and training: the perfect match
Mainstream has been operating at the heart of the logistics industry since 1997, so we understand the challenges that our clients face, in particular seasonal fluctuations and the vital need to attract the right drivers at the right time.
We have a unique position in logistics and warehousing, as we can provide any type of training for prospective staff, to ensure the perfect fit of people and skills.
As we have our own Operator’s (or ‘O’) Licence, we are also uniquely placed to understand the importance of legal compliance. In addition to our qualified Transport manager we also have consultants that hold national CPC qualifications, overseeing LGV Driver supply.
Our in-house training division trains thousands of new drivers and warehouse staff every year and this, coupled with our pro-active recruitment programme, with radio and press advertising, ensures we are able to supply a constant stream of skilled labour to our clients.
Alongside our staff placement service, we offer on-site training, specifically developed to meet clients’ needs, however complex. We can also run bespoke ‘warehouse-to-wheels’ programmes and apprenticeships. Contact us to find out how we can help.
