"Ruth and I collaborated on the creation of a series of health and safety courses for a number of large organisations. Her expertise combined her deep understanding of health & safety with her detailed knowledge of the logistics industry. Whilst H&S, and compliance in general, is deemed by many to be a ‘necessary evil’ when doing business, Ruth brings huge passion and personality to what could be a dry topic. Her hands on practical experience delivers insight and facilitates strategic thinking for organisations, helping to turn the task of compliance, frequently seen as a ‘brake’, into something that is valued and seen as a potential benefit and enabler.

"Ruth Waring's dedication and expertise in the logistics sector have been instrumental in the development of the new Warehouse Manager Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) qualification for the UK Warehousing Association (UKWA). Her role as a co-writer allowed her to leverage her extensive experience as a trainer, ensuring that the course content met the specific needs of UKWA and its trainees.  Ruth's commitment to excellence was evident throughout the process. She meticulously trialled the material by delivering short courses, using feedback to refine and enhance the training materials. Her proactive approach ensured that the final course content was nothing short of brilliant, meeting the highest standards of quality and relevance.

Furthermore, Ruth carried out technical work with the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) to accredit the qualification, ensuring its credibility and recognition within the industry.  In conjunction with UKWA's learning development partner, Nucleus, she also helped to digitise some of the content, demonstrating her forward-thinking approach to training delivery and commitment to making this brand-new qualification accessible and inclusive.

The overwhelmingly positive feedback received from trainees is a testament to Ruth's exceptional work ethic, expertise, and dedication to delivering valuable training solutions. Ruth's contributions have not only met but exceeded the expectations of UKWA and its stakeholders, setting a new standard for professional competence in warehouse management, to elevate its status. It has been a pleasure working with Ruth, and I would highly recommend her for any future training or development initiatives in the logistics sector."

"As an external, sometimes it is difficult for people to truly get your business, and the business that they are expected to write so passionately and descript about. This has never been the case with Ruth, she has made it her business to understand the inner workings of the company, and to write compelling, award-winning entries on behalf of the business. Her spirit, knowledge and energy are always welcome in our offices, and she is a most fantastic extension of not only our marketing department, but compliance team also – thank you Ruth!"
