May 12, 2015

Daf has pledged three years of sponsorship to the Think Logistics scheme, joining Abbey Logistics and the RHA, in its drive to bring in a new generation to logistics.

The manufacturer will give money to Think Logistics over the course of three years, which the scheme’s founder, Abbey Logistics MD Steve Granite, said could be used for anything from website upkeep to bigger projects.

Daf MD Ray Ashworth (pictured) said: “At last, a serious initiative addressing the industry’s root concerns. I’ve been deeply impressed with Think Logistics and how it has been engaging directly with young people.

“With Steve Granite’s infectious passion for trucks and transport and his unwavering determination to attract a new generation... we have the ingredients here to excite them.”
