Tyne-and-Wear-based transport training specialist Van Hee has joined forces with logistics recruitment firm Reynolds Recruitment to provide a logistics training and recruitment service for the East Midlands.
Rod Harris, director of Nottingham-based Reynolds Recruitment, says: "Through our arrangement and association with Van Hee, we can now train not only staff employed at all levels within our clients' businesses, but we can also arrange the training of logistics personnel of any company in the East Midlands.
"We provide drivers to many of the big company fleets in the East Midlands. Now all the drivers should be fully qualified when they are contracted, so our customers will see the real benefit of our arrangement with Van Hee."
Since the beginning of 2008, Van Hee has invested heavily in updating and extending its 
training premises in Felling. It has also recruited additional instructors, driving instructor assessors, and forklift truck instructors to handle the increasing level of operatives under training, now standing at around 3,000 people a year.
"This arrangement with Reynolds Recruitment extends our geographical coverage of the country," says Van Hee managing director John Charlton, "and I am sure that together we will provide a first-class service to drivers and companies across the East Midlands."
