Invest in Manchester
Full Credential Description
In September 2023, DB Schenker faced the challenge of expanding its operations in Greater Manchester to meet growing demand. The company purchased a new 2.3-acre site at Trafford Park, which will more than double the size of its existing facility, providing almost 50,000 square feet of warehousing and office space. This expansion was crucial for DB Schenker to enhance its logistics capabilities and support its ongoing apprenticeship program in the UK, which has successfully developed local talent for the past two decades.
To facilitate this growth, DB Schenker collaborated with MIDAS, which was introduced to the company in March 2023. MIDAS provided essential support in several key areas, including skills and talent acquisition, research and development, business development, public policy, and the journey to net zero. This partnership enabled DB Schenker to effectively navigate the complexities of expansion and recruitment, ensuring that they could meet their business targets while contributing positively to the local economy. The tailored solutions offered by MIDAS were instrumental in enhancing DB Schenker's growth and development both locally and internationally.
