Transport makes "skillionaires"
A career in specialist transport in Europe is rarely at the top of many student lists of desirable careers – yet many might think again after the release of the latest City & Guilds Vocational Rich List, which estimates the fortunes of those who have made good following an apprenticeship or practical qualification.
Among the one hundred richest of these so-called "skillionaires", four have actually amassed their wealth as a result of careers built in transport and logistics, including specialist transport in Europe.
Chris Jones, CEO and director general of City & Guilds, comments, "Our latest Vocational Rich List proves you don't need a degree to succeed.
"The List not only celebrates the success of Britain's leading business men and women, but also serves as an inspiration to others to discover their talent and unlock their potential through vocational education and skills training," he continues.
Others said that the list should serve as an inspiration to young people by showing them that they don't need to go down the path of cheap celebrity in order to build up their wealth.
Those with a career in specialist transport in Europe who made the top one hundred came in at 19th, 54th and joint 95th respectively.
So, for students in Sussex, Hampshire, London, Manchester, Swansea and Yorkshire in fact, all over the country consider a career in haulage, it could make you a "skillionaire".
