Commercial Vehicle Show (CVS) Panel to Spotlight the Value of Armed Forces Talent in the Automotive Industry
If you're part of the Armed Forces community and looking to explore a new direction, the Commercial Vehicle Show (CVS) on 1st May 2025 at 1300hrs is a must-attend event at the NEC in Birmingham. A dedicated panel session will spotlight the unique strengths and immense value that you—those with military experience—can bring to the automotive and logistics sectors.
Titled “Bridging the Talent Gap in the Automotive and Logistics Sectors”, this engaging discussion, organised by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), brings together respected voices from across the industry. James Cameron, CEO of Mission Community, and Lawrie Alford, Skills Mentor and STEM Ambassador, will be joined by a Generation Logistics Alumni to explore how the sector can tap into underutilised talent—especially from the ex-Forces community.
This session will highlight how your military background—discipline, leadership, adaptability, and problem-solving—aligns perfectly with the needs of the commercial vehicle and logistics industries. Whether you're considering a mid-career switch or planning your next move post-service, this is your opportunity to see where you fit and how you can thrive.
Why attend? As a current or former member of the Armed Forces, you’ll gain:
A clear view of career pathways within a dynamic, fast-growing industry
Insight into how your experience is not just relevant, but highly sought-after
Real stories from those who’ve already made the leap successfully
A chance to connect with industry leaders who recognise the value of service-leavers
