Whilst the UK logistics sector is undoubtedly the most sophisticated and advanced in the world, the highly fragmented recruitment industry that supports it has often struggled to provide consistent and comprehensive services to single organisations, let alone the supply chain industry at large.
ìThe Logistics Networkî is a unique solutions company. ìWe are rejecting the usual old conventions and offering an alternative to traditional recruitment modelsî claims Director Andy Howard. ìThe Logistics Network will work with clients to develop complete solutions, not just fitting one piece of the workforce jigsaw. We are weaving together the proven expertise of specialist partners within the permanent recruitment and temporary staff sectors, giving an unrivalled ability to provide holistic, people orientated solutions to the UK logistics industry.
ìCompanies told us that they wanted a focal point for staffing solutions, and crucially, specialist capabilities. Clients asked for a company that would take ownership, be creative and provide a wide range of services from a single contact point, covering all areas of staff management and recruitment from Driver to Director. This is the unique niche that The Logistics Network is looking to fillî enthused Managing Director Ian Holford.
Extensive market research within the Third Party Logistics and Retail Sectors directly led to the creation and development of eight staffing products, including innovative solutions such as ìMaster Vendorî, ìProject Managementî and ìIntegrated Web Advertisingî, and more traditional solutions in the Permanent and Temporary Staffing arena. All solutions will be implemented and managed by ìThe Logistics Networkî utilising leading edge IT where appropriate to drive efficiencies. ìThe solutions work on a menu basis with clients able to choose and develop the services they requireî says Greg Wood, Director of Sales This is a new and unique offering to the Logistics Industry. A complete package of solutions provided by a single company, using the relevant proven specialist skills in our integrated business.
