Road to Logistics at the RTITB Awards
As well as recognising excellence in training, the RTITB Training Awards also aimed to support the wider industry. Road to Logistics was the chosen not-for-profit partner for the event. A fundraising raffle took place during the awards dinner. The organisation also did a great presentation on how it works to encourage new talent into the transport and logistics industry. Helping to address the increasing skills shortage.
The Awards event also proved lots of fun. With a networking dinner and a DJ, giving attendees chance to celebrate together. It was the ideal way to wind down after the RTITB Safety Summit. This took place during the daytime on the 19th September at the same venue and was aimed at those committed to improving safety and compliance, modernising training, and retaining talent. Industry leaders gathered to collaborate and share insights about workplace transport and MHE and LGV/HGV safety and training.
