West College Scotland should be extremely proud of the way they build relationships with external partners. Their commitment to helping us navigate through the complexity of workforce development has been exemplary.

Without this guidance at times, we would be lost.

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!

Alan Brown, Senior Manager at GXO

“Our collaboration with New College Lanarkshire`s CLIC programme has been invaluable. From the initial consultation their team expertly identified key areas where we could enhance productivity and expand our digital capabilities. Their insights and guidance gave us the confidence to implement practical solutions that would benefit our staff and customers. This partnership has not only delivered immediate improvements, but also established a valuable ongoing relationship with the college that will continue to benefit Altogether Travel in the future.”
