“Our sector is the backbone of Britain’s economy, connecting people, products, and progress every minute of every day.

“As we confront once-in-a-generation economic challenges and opportunities, I am committed to ensuring that our voice drives change at the heart of government, and that our members have the services, skills, and support they need to innovate, grow, and lead the future of logistics.”

Finally, we would like to express our sincere thanks to David Wells for his dedication and service over the past 15 years, and to Kevin Green for his excellent work as Acting CEO. Green will continue as Director of Policy, Marketing, and Communications in the new year.
