Dom Bridge Levels Up with Diploma in Management and Leadership

Dom Bridge has been with MVIS since 2013, starting as an apprentice in recent years progressing to Assistant Operations Manager. Dom’s record of achievements during his years at MVIS are vast and growing, from completing his apprenticeship, to taking an instrumental role in helping the company recertify for our ISO accreditations in quality (9001:2015), environmental management (14001:2015), and health & safety (45001:2018).

Now overseeing our deliveries and transportserving as a key member of staff within the company, Dom’s achievements just keep on coming, having achieved his OCR Level 3 Certificate of Professional Competence for Transport Managers (Road Haulage) in September 2019 and recently his CMI Level 5 Diploma in Management and Leadership. 

This course offers a more extensive qualification in equivalence to a foundation degree, giving students a “broader knowledge of middle management skills while focusing on the specific leadership areas” appropriate to their workplace.

To achieve this Diploma, Dom was required to complete 7 dissertations about-

• Personal development
• Information-based decision making
• Managing teams
• Financial management
• Project management
• Managing performance/HR
• Operational plans

He was also required to complete a L5 Knowledge test and create a 15-minute presentation that he was required to deliver to a panel of CMI assessors. On top of all this, over the duration of the course, Dom had to gather a 2-year portfolio of evidence and maintain a 2-year CPD log.

Dom’s achievement is the latest amongst a line not just from him personally, but from the MVIS team, who continue to improve on what it means to be ‘experts’.

This doesn’t just make MVIS great to work with from a client’s point of view, but it also makes MVIS a great place to work for its employees. The wider effect this management approach has on morale and loyalty is measurably positive, with MVIS boasting incredible staff retention rates.

Dom comments, “I was supported by Anne [Ashman] throughout the Diploma, especially when it came to HR, financial controls and operations. Knowing that your manager supports you makes development a rewarding and encouraging process. It’s great to learn professional skills in the context of my role here at MVIS.”

Anne adds, “Customer service makes up a huge part of our business and we take it as seriously as our clients do. Continuing professional development ensures that our team are trained and experienced so our service always lives up to our reputation.”

Anne continues, “We are very proud of Dom for having completed his Level 5 Diploma. It marks a significant achievement for both him and MVIS as we support the ongoing development of our team. We’re already talking about what’s next!”
