GXO Logistics has a strong track record in inclusive employment
A Banbury company has been recognised for consistently going “above and beyond” to help people with additional challenges enter the workplace.
GXO Logistics was awarded an inclusive leader award at a special ceremony, organised to celebrate the hard work and determination of 22 young people who had secured internships with local businesses.
The event was hosted by Oxfordshire County Council’s Oxfordshire Employment service at County Hall. It highlighted the achievements of individuals who had gained valuable skills, confidence and real-world work experience, with some progressing into paid employment thanks to personalised, one-to-one support.
GXO Logistics manages the end-to-end supply chain for high street toy retailer The Entertainer. They were recognised for their strong track record in inclusive employment across North Oxfordshire, creating accessible opportunities. The “inclusive leader” award was presented to the company for exemplary practice as employers and colleagues.
Matthew Plastow, GXO senior operations manager, said: “Participating in the supported internship scheme has been a positive experience for The Entertainer.
“Our interns have adapted well to the company and are friendly and hard working.
“The company has strong links with the local communities in which it operates, and this scheme helps local young people facing barriers to employment gain access to the workplace.”
