‘The programme of upskilling that we have implemented with the help and support of South Lanarkshire College has been pivotal for the growth of our business. This has helped us to stay aligned to our strategic goals and priorities and opened up a whole new array of opportunities.’

Glasgow Clyde College supported our team to think differently about how innovation can enhance our business. They’ve encouraged us to explore new opportunities for growth.

We recently completed training with West College Scotland to help our business expand into the renewable energy industry. The course was very well presented, and all the staff were first class in their approach.

I look forward to working with them again in the future.

Working in partnership with our local community has been a great opportunity for GXO/Sainsbury to forge close links with South Lanarkshire College while supporting Horticulture students and giving them an opportunity to work and learn from a business environment during their studies.

This initiative has given all parties the opportunity to offer creative ways for innovative solutions and to look forward to new ones!
