XPO, quick to spot an opportunity to build competitive edge, has been the first roll to out the new UKWA Warehouse Manager CPC (Certificate of Professional Competence) course for its employees, and has achieved a 100% pass rate for the first cohort of six, drawn from across the XPO UK network

The CPC course took place at XPO’s Crick centre in Northamptonshire, which serves as their headquarters and is the national distribution hub for the UK and Ireland.

XPO is a global provider of transport and logistics solutions, with an extensive network of locations across the UK. The company is committed to facilitating individual growth and development for its employees and is rightly proud of its comprehensive Learning & Development Policy. The UKWA Warehouse Manager CPC fits perfectly with XPO’s offering for employees to acquire formal qualifications to meet and surpass industry standards.

Sabrina Higgins, Learning and Development Specialist at XPO Logistics, commented, “We’re really proud that all 6 of our experienced warehouse colleagues passed their Warehouse Manager CPC, courtesy of the UK Warehousing Association. This qualification is the first of its kind, with UKWA leading the way for the growth of warehousing. 

Gaining this qualification will support both our colleagues and our business push forward with our ambitious growth plans.”

UKWA CEO Clare Bottle added, “We’re delighted that XPO has recognised the value of our new Warehouse Manager CPC and that all who attended the first cohort passed – including those already operating as Warehouse Managers and others with the potential and ambition to do so. XPO has expressed the intention of arranging another cohort, which is a great endorsement of the course. 

We welcome the opportunity to work with members and non-members alike to deliver the Warehouse Manager CPC on an exclusive basis, but also encourage ambitious individuals from the sector to seize this great opportunity and enrol on one of our forthcoming courses in the Autumn.” 

The next Warehouse Manager CPC courses will be held at Corby, Northamptonshire.
