Investing in the development of our people helps us deliver better solutions
Unlike some other countries around the world, to operate within the UK freight forwarding sector, individuals do not need to have achieved any specialist qualifications. Although there will always be a need to gain ‘on the job’ experience, Spatial Global ensure our operators also personally develop the technical knowledge needed from a credible industry body. One who can provide a certification of competence, this ensures our team experience is backed with independently assessed qualifications.
