When supermarket giant Asda, part of Walmart Group, built its £20m import centre consisting of a deep sea container facility and warehouse at Teesport, Middlesbrough in 2006, they created over 300 new jobs in the local area.

When Tesco joined the Driver CPC Consortium, System Training enabled six members of Tesco staff to become highly-qualified driver training instructors – who then delivered the Driver CPC course to over 3000 Tesco goods vehicle drivers.
