Royal Mail launches training roadshow
Royal Mail has launched a high-tech, interactive training roadshow to communicate vital health and safety messages to thousands of its employees across the UK.
After seven years working as a major supplier on the roadshow, EMS will become the lead agency - co-ordinating the work of several partners and managing the logistically intense programme, believed to be the largest vehicle-based tour in Europe.
The firm will also use its in-depth knowledge of the project to create a totally new interactive experience to engage and inspire the predominantly school-aged target audience.
The roadshow is a key element of the national Aimhigher programme to encourage more young people to pursue higher education.
Since its launch in 2001 it has reached more than 661,500 young people.
The 2008/2009 tour will use a fleet of five, custom-built 'pathfinder' mobile exhibition vehicles which will be completely re-branded and fitted out with a new on-board experience.
EMS Account Director Justin Isles said: "To win such a prestigious contract against stiff national competition is a milestone for our business and confirms our leading role in this niche service area.
"We are delighted to continue our relationship with the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills and look forward to taking these important messages out to thousands more young people in the years to come.".
