Local students help design Dartford's logistics park

Across a series of interactive workshops, Logicor, a developer, owner and manager of logistics real estate, and charity, The Talent Foundry, worked with over 400 students from local schools to share with them real life experiences of work and how what the children were learning in school translates into the world of property.

Welling, Northfleet, Stone Lodge, St John Catholic Comprehensive and Harris Gerrard Academy, hosted volunteers from Logicor and facilitators from The Talent Foundry. Through these interactive workshops the students explored a variety of topics – from understanding what a supply chain is and how online shopping works, how to apply maths to understand rental agreements and the design of a logistics park to presentation skills required to pitch a new business idea. The students were also tasked with designing a logistics park and creating an advert to attract new customers.

Logicor owns 41m sq ft of logistics property across the UK and has recently acquired a new site in Dartford, known as Logicor Park Dartford, adjacent to the Dartford Bridge.
