What a day at the National Transition Event at Silverstone, from Mission Motorsport!
Earlier this week, Go Service Solutions attended one of the UK's leading events supporting ex-military personnel as they explore their next career move, and it didn't disappoint.
We had some really honest, open conversations with people who've built incredible experience in operations, supply chain, fleet management and people management during their time in the forces. For some, the big question was what comes first after leaving - being closer to home or more time with family. For others, building a commercial career was the clear goal.
Whatever stage people were at, it was great to sit down and talk through the options, whether that’s starting out as a driver, working more independently, or progressing into operational and leadership roles over time.
We also connected with other businesses exhibiting on the day, and logistics professionals who have already made the transition. The conversations kept coming back to the same point: The skills that come out of military service are genuinely exceptional. The technical knowledge, operational discipline and ability to lead people aren’t things you can easily teach, and more businesses should recognise that.
Being in the garage right next to the pit lane made for a pretty memorable setting, too. The queue for the track experience was non-stop all day, and watching the cars go out never got old.
If you’re leaving the forces and thinking about where logistics could take you, we’d love to have that conversation, so please DM us.
