The Talent in Logistics Conference and Awards are fast approaching, and whilst Bis Henderson Academy are busy preparing to lead their seminar on ‘The Apprenticeship Levy – Making it work for your business’ at the Conference, not only has the host of the awards dinner been announced as none other than Jeff Stelling (well-known Sky Sports presenter), the shortlist of nominees for the 16 prestigious awards has now also been released….


…and we’re proud to announce that our CEO Andy Kaye has been shortlisted for the ‘Lifetime Contribution Award 2018‘ for his work in helping to transform young people’s perception of the supply chain and logistics sector. He launched The Novus Trust in 2014, which has been successfully motivating young people to study supply chain and logistics through specialist degree courses, and then later Bis Henderson Academy to focus on developing talent through apprenticeship level training.
Andy is truly passionate about skills, and his work with other industry bodies, such as Think Logistics, ensures that he can work alongside organisations to achieve greater understanding and improved awareness.
Good luck to all those who have been shortlisted, we look forward to celebrating with you all on the 21st June!
