Bretts Transport staff embark upon degree

Three rising stars at Guyhirn-based Bretts Transport are set to embark upon a degree course as part of an ongoing investment programme to futureproof the business.

Wayne Minney, Transport General Manager, Kim Wyatt, Customer Service and Logistics Manager and James Norris, Warehouse Manager will complete the four-year BSc (Hons) Supply Chain Management degree course run by Peterborough-based Anglia Ruskin University.

The course will cover every aspect of supply chain management, with modules including Operational Design and Management, Inventory and Warehouse Management, Finance and Procurement Management, International Supply Chain Management, Forecasting and Decision Making and Contemporary Issues.

In all there are 11 modules to be completed over the four years, each with their own assessments. They will be completed over a series of fortnightly webinars, each three hours long, along with one week of training on campus every trimester.

Over the four years the three will work towards the End Point Assessment which is made up of a 9,000-word report, a 20-minute presentation followed by a 10-minute question and answer session, and a 40-minute viva examination.

As part of the course Bretts Transport has also committed to supporting the three by allocating time in work to study towards the degree, providing a number of work-based opportunities and experience to help them build a portfolio of evidence required by the assessment plan, liaising with the university on the candidates’ progress, and providing a mentor throughout the four-year course.The post Bretts Transport staff embark upon degree first appeared on Warehouse & Logistics News.
