Europa! I think they've got it!
For the first time, Europa Worldwide Group welcomed 32 logistics and supply chain management students from the University of Kent Business School to its Dartford headquarters.
The students, led by their Senior Lecturer Dr Chefi Triki, who heads the Logistics and Supply Chain Management course at the university, were given an opportunity to observe the practical application of logistics operations and deepen their understanding of the supply chain industry.
One of the UK’s largest independent logistics providers, Europa’s Dartford HQ is home to a team of 350+ and includes a dedicated 3PL facility and an advanced 1Hub facility for road freight.
Europa’s road freight services include an unparalleled groupage offer powered by the state-of-the-art 1Hub, where goods are meticulously managed, tracked, and securely handled and transported into and out of Europe.
Designed to give students a practical insight into the logistics and supply chain sector, the visit was curated to provide the students with an up-close look at the day-to-day workings of a leading logistics provider, complementing their academic studies.
Key focus areas included warehouse management, transportation scheduling, and truck loading operations—critical components of modern logistics that drive efficiency and innovation.
Bethany Windsor, Head of Skills Policy and Generation Logistics at Logistics UK said: “Generation Logistics believes in inspiring the next generation of logistics leaders by bridging the gap between academia and industry. Hosting students, as silver sponsor Europa has, provides a unique opportunity for them to experience first hand the complexity and innovation that drive our sector.
"It’s through initiatives like this that we hope to spark passion, nurture talent, and equip future professionals with the knowledge and insight they need to excel.”
