Meet Dominic Knowles, University of Huddersfield Graduate of 2021

“Logistics was a huge draw to someone like me, because of its connection to countless other business professions.

In my last year of college, I had no idea how to specialise my generic business knowledge, but logistics and supply chain management just stood out to me, and rightfully so.

The NOVUS scheme serves to amplify this effect by providing the opportunity to network with members of our profession who would otherwise be out of the reach of an undergraduate student.

After working on the front lines for Morrisons Supermarkets in an incredibly tough placement year, I have a profound appreciation for these contacts.

I have seen people and processes work way above their usual limits, which can only be a result of the resilience that our profession takes pride in.

Looking back on this, my ambition for the future is to be a leader in a business that treasures the people that keep it going in tough times. I am adamant that I can achieve this with open-mindedness, planning and humility in the face of adversity.

If you enjoy being a people person, detailed planner, action taker or innovative thinker, then I have no doubt that NOVUS and the logistics industry can help you thrive.

All you need to do is grab the opportunity!”
