Josh Fenton, Logistics UK's Policy Manager, who attended the lunch along with Logistics UK's CEO David Wells OBE, said: "It was a pleasure to welcome the Secretary of State for Wales, Jo Stevens MP, who spoke about the importance of growth, the government’s trade strategy, and the pivotal role the logistics sector can play.
"Logistics UK published its report, ‘Logistics: underpinning the Welsh economy’ earlier this year, a document outlining how logistics underpins the Welsh economy and we continue to press the Welsh government to create an environment that enables the sector to thrive.
"It was a great opportunity for the Welsh logistics sector to re-engage with old friends, make new acquaintances, swap stories of triumph and recognise the hard work and achievements of the industry," added Fenton.
"The guest speaker for the event was the internationally renowned rugby referee Nigel Owens MBE, who treated the delegates to an entertaining and insightful talk, sharing stories about his career and personal life.
"A big thank you to everyone who attended, and especially to the event sponsor, Watts Truck and Vans, the host, Vincent Brickley of Tandem Transport, and the Welsh Freight Council Chair, Ian Jarman of Owens Group."
