We are delighted to announce two significant achievements for Road to Logistics that mark an important step forward in our mission to help people overcome barriers to employment and build sustainable careers in transport, logistics, and beyond.
Firstly, we successfully achieved the matrix Standard accreditation in September 2026. This nationally recognised quality standard is awarded to organisations that demonstrate excellence in the delivery of information, advice and guidance services.
Following a rigorous assessment process, the assessor recognised the quality of support provided throughout our learner journeys, our strong employer engagement, our support for people facing barriers to employment, and the positive outcomes achieved – like 87% of our learners progressing into lasting employment.
Then, in October, we received formal confirmation of our ETC Centre Approval, enabling Road to Logistics to deliver regulated qualifications directly.
This is another major step forward in our growth journey and creates exciting opportunities to expand our curriculum and develop new Adult Skills Fund provision alongside our existing programmes.
Creating more opportunities for untapped talent
While certificates and approvals are important, these milestones represent much more than external recognition.
They demonstrate some of the ways that Road to Logistics is continuing to strengthen the quality, infrastructure, and credibility needed to support more learners into training, qualifications, and employment. For our funding partners, employers, and communities, these achievements provide added reassurance that our programmes are built on robust systems, high-quality learner support and a commitment to continuous improvement.
This is particularly important at a time when investment in employability and skills provision is needed more than ever. Every funding opportunity secured creates another chance for someone to access life-changing training, gain confidence, develop new skills, and move closer to sustainable employment.
For many of the people we support, that journey starts with overcoming significant personal, financial or social barriers. These achievements help us build the foundations required to reach even more individuals who need that opportunity.
A foundation for bright futures
Over recent months, our team has worked tirelessly to strengthen systems, improve processes, develop programmes, enhance the learner experience, and prepare the organisation for future growth, all while continuing to deliver high-quality support to learners and employers across the country.
The matrix accreditation and ETC Centre Approval are tangible evidence that these efforts are making a real difference, so a huge thank you goes to our team for their hard work!
Importantly, these milestones create the platform for the next phase of Road to Logistics. They give us a strong foundation from which to grow our funded provision, expand our offer, strengthen partnerships, and create more opportunities for the people and communities we exist to support.
Join our mission
Looking ahead, we remain focused on helping more people into training, progression, and sustainable employment while supporting the logistics industry to address critical skills shortages.
