Generation Logistics Case Study
Kulraj Singh Banwait – Finance Graduate Associate, GXO.
Those searching for a career in business often overlook the logistics industry, but not Kulraj.
He chose GXO for his placement as part of a BA in Business Management, Accounting and Finance – in part because of the real-life experience the placement offered alongside completion of his professional accounting qualification.
The rotating placement has seen Kulraj experience multiple areas within GXO.
“I would say the highlight so far for me has been taking up the responsibility of completing finances for five sites across the UK,” says Kulraj, “including weekly P&L reporting, budgeting and forecasting.”
Kulraj lists a range of key skills and characteristics useful for someone in his current role.
“Flexibility, meeting deadlines and the ability to work as a team player are key,” he says. “The role offers me the ability to gain business insight, not just in finance but wider business operations. It’s also important in my role that I add value by engaging with key stakeholders.”
That insight comes alongside studying for a CIMA qualification, and no one day is the same.
“It’s such a rewarding sector,” says Kulraj. “I was always a good problem solver, but also a big fan of technology and innovation. GXO was such a good fit.”
To anyone else considering a similar opportunity in logistics, Kulraj has this to say: “It’s something different, with such a scope for career progression. There are so many diverse career paths you can take!”
