Logistics UK Policy Meetings

Overview

Meetings with our members are the foundation of our policy work. They shape our positions, inform our campaigns and ensure that the voice of our members is at the heart of everything we do.

Held across the country, these meetings are where we explore the key issues facing our sector: skills, decarbonisation, regulation, infrastructure and more. They provide a space to scrutinise consultation proposals, discuss emerging challenges, and gather the insight we need to represent you effectively. Your engagement is therefore not just welcome, it is essential.

To strengthen our influence with policymakers and regulators, we must continue to develop policy positions that don’t simply respond to government priorities but actively help shape them. Together, we will continue positioning logistics as the backbone of Britain’s economy. Our industry is not a ‘nice to have’ it is a fundamental pillar of growth, productivity and national resilience.

We look forward to working closely with you, hearing your views, and building a policy agenda that delivers for our members and drives positive change.

Member Meetings

Member Meetings, also known as Freight Councils, are our regional forums where members come together to discuss policy positions on both emerging and ongoing issues. These include areas such as road regulation, government regulatory reform, infrastructure, road decarbonisation and skills.

Held three times a year across the UK, these meetings are open to all members and are designed to be highly interactive. We regularly invite external speakers, such as the Traffic Commissioners, to share insights and support meaningful discussion.

Alongside shaping policy, Member Meetings also provide valuable networking opportunities to give members the chance to connect with peers across the sector. Please view the links to view further information on each Member Meeting.

Road Council

The feedback and priorities raised at Member Meetings feed directly into Road Council, where representatives from each region come together to agree our policy positions before they are taken forward to decision makers. Road Council is the culmination of the Member Meeting cycle and takes place three times a year in London.

Attendance is by invitation only, with a set number of representatives allocated to each regional Member Meeting group. We are regularly joined by senior guest speakers from key organisations, such as the DVSA, who provide valuable insight and support robust discussion.

There are also Air, Rail, Water and Shippers Councils that all members can join, as well as our Working Groups. Please view the links for further information.

Working Groups

Working Groups cover a broad range of issues across every mode of freight transport. Whatever the challenge or opportunity facing our industry, it is likely to be explored in one of our many specialist Working Groups listed below. These groups bring together subject‑matter experts and members with hands‑on experience to inform our thinking, shape our positions, and support meaningful dialogue with government and regulators.
