What is logistics?
Freight logistics is the movement and supply of goods
throughout the economy - from raw materials, through
all stages of the manufacturing process, to the final
delivery of the finished product to companies
and consumers.

The term “logistics” embraces an array of distinct
industries. People often divide logistics into the
method of transporting goods - ie. road, rail, sea or
air. However, in reality, large logistics companies work
across all types of transport and a variety of supply
chains.

Introduction:
Logistics activities include the planning, routing and
the movement of freight across all transport modes
(road, rail, sea and air) as well as associated activities
such as warehousing and storage, removals and
freight forwarding.

 
Skills for Logistics is the Sector Skills Council (SSC) for the freight logistics industries. Skills for Logistics was officially launched in February 2004 when it was granted the SSC licence by the Government's Sector Skills Development Agency (SSDA). Logistics was one of the first nine UK industry sectors to be served by an SSC.
 
Skills for Logistics is a registered charity and an independent, UK-wide organisation. It is owned and led by the industry and has the backing of over 100 of the UK's top freight transport businesses as well as the leading trade bodies. The British Association of Removers, the British International Freight Association, the Despatch Association, the Freight Transport Association, the Road Haulage Association, the Transport and General Workers Union, the UK Warehousing Association and the United Road Transport Union all support the organisation.
