Last Mile launched its 'Warehouse to Wheels' scheme in 2021 in a bid to encourage its existing staff to pursue a career as Heavy Goods Vehicle Drivers.
It is in Last Mile's interest to retain as many employees as possible, so we can benefit from their acquired experience and loyalty which is an essential part of our business growth.
The offer of training and a guaranteed job driving heavy goods vehicles makes it a fantastic opportunity to not only progress existing staff's careers, but to take them in an entirely new direction.
This has been an attractive proposition and we have already had many successes with our next recruit being Dimi Blades.
Dimi has worked for Last Mile for 4 years within the 2 x Man Home Delivery team and has been very keen to progress his career with Last Mile and also follow in his Dad, Ian's footsteps who is also a Last Mile Class 1 Driver.
Recently qualified with the help of JK Transport Training, Dimi is now under the supervision of our Lead Driver, Steve for the next few weeks before he goes out alone and at only 22 years old this is a great achievement.
Dimi is doing really well so far and is looking forward to his new exciting and varied role as a Heavy Goods Vehicle Driver with Last Mile.
Last Mile are always on the lookout for enthusiastic, hard-working crew members to join our team who would like to obtain new skills and experiences to advance a career within the transport industry.
