Generation Logistics
A Major careers and awareness campaign to promote the whole logistics industry
Of course it’s about keeping food on the shelves and providing our factories, shops, hospitals and schools with the supplies they need.
It’s bigger, even, than an unprecedented vaccine response to an unprecedented global health crisis.
Logistics is vital to keeping Britain trading, directly impacting over seven million people employed in making, selling and moving the goods that affect everyone everywhere.
It’s about being part of an industry critical to how we live. Being part of a sector at the vanguard of innovation and technology; of artificial intelligence, advanced robotics, autonomous vehicles and the decarbonisation of the supply chain.
It’s the building of tomorrow’s world, through the ingenuity, skill and ambition of today’s people. People of all backgrounds, from all walks and stages of life. Whether just starting out, returning to the workforce, or changing direction.
This is a new, diverse generation of talent that’ll come together as one, meet challenges big and small, and keep the world turning.
This is Generation Logistics.

Generation Logistics is initially a 12 month programme of engagement and promotional activities which aims to:
- Bring the industry together.
- Shift perceptions of the industry.
- Encourage the next generation of logistics workers to engage with the opportunities available and keep the nation’s supply chain protected.
Generation Logistics was created through a collaboration between Logistics UK, and CILT (UK). This is an industry-led campaign but will be fully supported by government, with DfT acting as lead supporting Department. We’re delighted that we have already exceeded our targets for industry support and sponsorship – but it’s not too late to get involved.
If the first year is as successful as we hope it will be, then Generation Logistics could be extended to sustain and grow its impact over time.
