Ex-Royal EngineerDarren Barber
My journey with this organisation started when I first completed the Pathway into Logistics van driving training course, at the very start you could see by the standard of training offered, that the Instructors were not only former Armed Forces themselves, but also had a wide and varied wealth of experience from working within the industry, all of which they’re were happy to share, and offer helpful practical advice.
Upon completion of the fore mention course, I was then provided with the opportunity of additional professional training upon obtaining my HGV qualifications, with all the free additional information that I required, non-bias personal advice, and more importantly at the time, unlimited support from Darren, Narmin and the rest of the admin, and training staff in the possibility of improving my career prospects within this sector of industry, which I should state at this point, was completely a different pathway from my previous careers,.
This was when the real journey started, after various personal setbacks and issues at the beginning, I was always aware that I could contact any member of staff at Veterans into Logistics, with any additional issues, or problems should they occur, all without fear of any ridicule or personal judgement…
Every stage of the training and support process, starting from the very basic medical, all the various different administration and licensing procedures, to the theory and driving awareness tests, and finally, the practical driving aspects of the course was (what by this time you had become to expect) of the highest possible personal and professional standard.
Leaving me now, upon successfully (some would say finally) completing my HGV Class 2, with the personal desire to maintain my training with Veterans into Logistics and career prospects at a later date, in obtaining my Class 1, with a wide wealth of knowledge and advice, that I will never forget, such as… Remember, you are driving a lorry, not a Ferrari, or if in doubt, chicken out, and finally, not forgetting that old classic…
Don’t forget to use your bloody mirrors (Cheers Phil, for that one)
