The world-wide export and import of manufactured goods, the storage, handling and distribution of every product that is sold or purchased through to the collection and delivery of mail and parcels to the home.

The sector has a Government skills council, Skill for logistics responsible for qualification development and then there is the SFA funded body, National Skills Academy for Logistics their focus is the delivery of those qualifications for you.
