Policy asks north of the border 


To keep the priorities of the logistics sector top of mind for policy makers in Scotland, this week Logistics UK's Head of Trade and Devolved Policy Nichola Mallon and Senior Policy Manager Alexandra Herdman presented to a cross-party group of MSPs on Logistics UK’s priority policy asks on trade, decarbonisation, infrastructure, driver welfare facilities and skills.  

Top of the agenda was the overarching need for partnership working between the logistics industry and government to unlock the potential of the sector to drive innovative and sustainable growth. 

The event, which was hosted by Michelle Thomson MSP and supported by Stephen Halleran, chair of Logistics UK’s Scotland Freight Council, was a very positive one with plenty of lively debate. It also provided the opportunity for industry representative colleagues from the small business and food and drink sectors in Scotland to make contributions and it is hoped to continue the conversations with all parties in the coming months.
