Maximising data for SMEs in the logistics sector

George Kieffer and MP Jake Berry

Great to be at the launch of TALE, Transport and Logistical Efficiencies, a project supporting SMEs in the Logistics sector to better understand and analyse their data to increase their efficiency. The project also aims to help companies to understand cyber security and the implications on their data.

Jake Berry, MP for Rossendale and Darwen said:

This project demonstrates what LEPs are meant to do, to collaborate to support businesses and create jobs. For the logistics sector this is the future.

George Kieffer, Chairman – Haven Gateway Partnership, Vice Chair – South East LEP said:

There’s never been a more important time for investment such as this to drive the economy forward.

Specialist expertise

The project is supported by the University of Essex and University of Kent who are experts in data and big data and the implications and opportunities for businesses.

Working with businesses

SMEs are able to book a 1 to 1 free data assessment to get a diagnostic support plan to identify opportunities on better data use opportunities.

TALE also offers free workshops on topics in the field of data exploitation.
