The month ahead 

The media team will continue to raise awareness of members’ opinions on topics affecting the sector, including trade and border issues, the continuing road to decarbonisation and the Chancellor of the Exchequer’s Autumn Statement on 26 November. The team will continue to focus on the industry’s skills shortages, promoting the Generation Logistics campaign at every opportunity and highlighting the need for improved driver facilities. Promotion of Logistics UK’s forthcoming events programme will continue, including the 25^th annual autumn Transport Manager conference series, which is now over half-way through, and this year’s Logistics Awards which take place in December.

Have you got a story? If you are keen to speak to the media about a pressing issue – from skills shortages to fuel costs, urban restrictions to future logistics – or to highlight some of the great work your organisation is doing, we would love to hear from you as journalists are always keen to hear from those affected by issues. 

We are also keen to publicise those with personal achievements to shout about – maybe staff members who have received special awards or with unusual hobbies or expertise.

And as always, the media is keen to talk to women working across the industry – we are particularly on the lookout for female drivers who are happy to talk to the press.

Please contact the media team at [email protected] – we look forward to hearing from you!
