DfT Senior Civil Servant Duncan Price to retire
Duncan started his logistics career working in local government before moving to DfT where he held various positions including in road safety, before finding his true passion as Head of Road Freight in 2012.
Duncan, who has been instrumental in shaping the Department for Transport’s policies on road freight, has announced his retirement.
Highlights of Duncan’s road freight career include chairing the ITF Road Transport Group for many years; negotiation of new or revised road transport agreements with Ukraine, Belarus, Kosovo, Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia Herzegovina and Azerbaijan.
He also led the government's policy on road freight for 12 years through COVID, driver shortages and other problems, and oversaw the passage of several pieces of legislation to improve the road freight situation.
Originally from Kent and very proud of his heritage, Duncan is married with one daughter. He recently celebrated his daughter's wedding.
Everyone here at Logistics UK would like to wish Duncan all the best for the future and thank him for his support and guidance of the sector.
