DHL SERVICE LEAVERS INSIGHT DAY
Our Foundation member DHL hosted a Services Leavers Insight Day in Rugby on Friday 19th April 2024 with over 40 Service personnel attended from all three Services. The aim was to give attendees an on the ground visit of a site whilst outlining many of the roles available within this huge global company. Attendees also got the opportunity fully understand DHLs Mission Statement, what they stand for, their culture, work ethic alongside DHLs binding principles under the Armed Forces Covenant and the Employer Recognition Scheme.
The day was opened by Mr Tim Bolam Vice President Project Delivery alongside Sarah Wilmot DHLs Military Recruitment Manager and Army Veteran lead and her team.
Service leavers were able to speak to the DHL employees many of whom were veterans through a series of workshops on careers across a range of employment including project delivery, transport, robotics and operations and diversity. Also on display was an alternative gas powered haulage truck along with the opportunity to walk the site. The day was closed by Mike Bristow, MD for Manufacturing Logistics. A highly successful event where collaboration between the military and one of our industry partners was at its finest.
