Cardiff Business School experts deliver training to young professionals in DSV Accelerate program

In June 2025, experts in logistics and operations management from Cardiff Business School provided training to young professionals as part of the DSV Accelerate Program.

DSV, a leading Danish transport and logistics company, currently the biggest in the world, recently strengthened its strategic partnership with Cardiff University to enhance collaboration in innovation, research, staff development, student futures, and international business development.

The company’ Accelerate Program is designed to support ambitious achievers within DSV, helping them grow professionally and fast-track their careers towards senior manager and solution designer roles.

From the 2^nd to the 6^th of June 2025, Cardiff University's PARC Institute hosted the Accelerate Programme. Participants received training and attended workshops on:

• Forecasting for circular economy
• Inventory planning
• Transportation planning
• Manufacturing management.

The training sessions were led by Professor Aris Syntetos, and other members of the PARC Institute: Professor Emrah Demir, Professor Daniel Eyers, Dr Thanos Goltsos, and Dr Qinyun Li.

As part of the program, the cohort visited Cardiff University’s RemakerSpace and learned more about the PARC Institute of Manufacturing, Logistics, and Inventory. The sessions took place in the board room of SPARK, the Glamorgan Building and the Executive Education and DSV rooms in PTC.

The five days of training concluded with presentations from the participants. The closing ceremony included a speech form Professor Deborah Hann, Cardiff Business School’s Pro-Dean for Education and Students, and the participants were then all awarded certificates for successful completion of the programme.

This is the third cohort of Accelerate graduates visiting CARBS, and we look forward to welcoming more cohorts in the future.
