Bayford Case Study

Baltic Training promotes equality in the world of Logistics!

Baltic Training Services Operations Manager Chris Adair and Phil Mordey, Business Development Director engaged with Bayford Oils in early January 2009 in the spectacular location of Braham Hall and after a productive meeting with Graham Hughes, Commercial Director, Norman Ruddock Group Operations Manager and Mark Wedgewood, Business Unit Manager for the Leeming bar depot, they decided to run a pilot programme at Leeming Bar consisting of NVQ Level 2 in Carry and Deliver Goods for their five drivers.

They have over 75 tankers delivering fuel to farms and homes every single day. Our highly trained and experienced delivery drivers operate to the highest standards to ensure your satisfaction and a trouble-free delivery experience.

One of Bayford Oils core values is about ensuring that their business has the best trained colleagues:

Fuelling our Colleagues

"We have an unshakeable commitment to personal growth through the encouragement and support of our colleagues."

Karen Saward, employed by Bayford Oil, delivers heating oil to customers all over the Yorkshire region. Based at the Leeming Bar depot Karen was one of the five drivers to undergo the pilot programme and also Baltic Trainings first female delivery driver to participate in the NVQ.

Karen commented on her experience with Baltic training by saying “I found the NVQ very interesting and it went well on the day of assessment. My assessor Paul Oates made me feel at ease and I was amazed at how much I actually do in my job that meets the NVQ criteria”.

Karen has now asked Baltic Training for further information on our Skills for Life programme and hopes to brush up on her Literacy and Numeracy skills.
