Knowles Logistics said its passion for rewarding hard work and nurturing staff development was helping it to invest in the future, with two staff members recently celebrating career successes.
The Fenland company’s HGV driver Jess Simmons achieved her Class 1 licence and she thanked the haulier for making it possible.
“Having worked as a transport planner within the business I’ve gained valuable insight into the operational side of logistics which has strengthened my understanding of the industry as a whole,” she said.
“The experience inspired me to progress into a driving role and I’m extremely grateful to Knowles for investing in my development and supporting my career progression.
“I’m excited to apply my skills and knowledge in this new role and continue contributing to the company’s ongoing growth.”
Carl Watkin is also celebrating after achieving his NEBOSH National General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety.
Company MD Alex Knowles said: “This qualification is one of the most widely recognised in the field and covers essential areas such as risk management, workplace hazards and safety responsibilities.
“Carl’s achievement reflects a great deal of hard work and dedication and is a clear example of Knowles Logistics’ commitment to maintaining high standards of health and safety across all areas of the business.”
The MD added that giving all employees the opportunity to thrive was a long-standing company value which had contributed to its success and longevity:
“As a major regional employer, we take our responsibilities to our employees very seriously.
“Our people are the lifeblood of our organisation.
“As a business Knowles is built on strong community values – combining continuous learning with a genuine commitment to our staff, each and every one of whom over nine decades has helped us get to where we are today.”
