THE CHARITY, Veterans into Logistics, has helped former British Army soldier Wez Thomson be the first of 10 former military personnel to start a new job as an HGV driver with Asda.
The supermarket provided £40,000 of funding to help the project. Veterans into Logistics has a two-year established partnership with the Asda Logistics Services who support their mission of preventing homelessness and unemployment in the veteran community.
Wez Thomson served in the British Army for nearly seven years and got in contact with Veterans into Logistics founder and former Royal Artillery Airborne Gunner Darren Wright, through networking site LinkedIn.
