Working in a warehouse provides an opportunity for a long and successful career. With demand in warehousing on the way up, now is the time to build a successful career in the warehouse. But where to start?

Take every opportunity to build your skills. If training is offered, take it. Find opportunities to develop your skills in communication and problem solving. You may also need to operate machinery – attention to detail is crucial.

Build relationships. Networking and meeting industry professionals is a great way to find new opportunities in the future to build your career. Find professional sector recruiters (like us!) you can partner with too to find new opportunities when you’re ready to progress.

Interviews are the gateway to a new opportunity – and it’s important to make a good impression. One thing you need to consider carefully is what to wear to your next interview. So what should you wear to your next interview to stand out and make a good impression?

Find out first. There’s no harm in asking the person arranging the interview what the dress code is for the interview in question – if you arrive to the interview in a suit but everyone else is in their warehouse kit you might feel a bit out of place! Asking for guidance on this is perfectly fine.

Does it match? Stick to a maximum of two to three different colours and consider things like your bag, umbrella, your coat – they are all part of your ensemble and where possible should also compliment a cohesive look.

Where what you already own. The danger of buying something new for an interview is that it may not fit, or look and feel right! Where clothes you feel confident and comfortable in.

Prepare in advance! Make sure your chosen clothes are washed and ironed well before the big day. The (not so) secret to success is preparation!

The logistics industry is changing; many companies are starting to invest in new vehicles run on electricity. Although petrol and diesel vehicles won’t be retired just yet, it’s clear that there are plenty of benefits to using electrical vehicles and companies need to start thinking about investing. So what are the benefits?

They’re cheaper to run. OK, so the initial cost of an electric vehicle may be higher than a standard vehicle, however electric vehicles are much cheaper to run, with electric costing nowhere near as much as petrol or diesel.

They’re cheaper to repair. Given the design of an electric vehicle, they have fewer moving parts and as such are easier and cheaper to maintain.

You’re saving the planet! One of the biggest benefits of electric vehicles is that they are friendly to the environment. OK so this may not seem important, but global warming is an issue and companies must take responsibility.

They’re safer. Given the fact that electric vehicles aren’t carrying traditional fuel, should there be a collision, there’s a reduced risk of fire or explosion.

Electric is the future!
