About the Logistics Institute

Founded in 2005, the Logistics Institute is a world-class centre of excellence in global logistics and supply chain management. 

The Institute was established with £20 million in funding from Yorkshire Forward (a regional development agency) and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).  This funding, which ended in December 2007, enabled us to create the institute and provide logistics training, support and consultancy.

Supported by our grant funding, the institute assisted 530 businesses with their logistics and supply chain issues. These businesses created over 160 new jobs and increased sales by £55 million per year.

Now self sufficient, the institute is unique in offering logistics degree courses, research, business consultancy and training, and community engagement.
