As part of #NationalLorryWeek,  We were delighted to welcome a number of key figures from across the transport and logistics sector for an engaging and productive discussion at our Fradley site.

We were pleased to host Dave Robertson MP for Lichfield, Fred Brown, Simon Priest, Ferdy Willans, and Robert Gittins, who joined us to explore some of the most pressing issues currently facing the UK transport industry.

The conversation covered a wide range of vital topics, including:

• The ongoing driver and technician shortage

• Rising operational costs for transport businesses

• Driver welfare and freight crime

• The industry’s journey towards Net Zero

• The impact of HS2 and local road infrastructure

The session provided a valuable opportunity to exchange insights, debate ideas, and identify potential solutions to help strengthen and future-proof the industry.

At Allports Group, we’re proud to play an active role in supporting the logistics sector and driving collaboration that leads to meaningful progress.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for this important discussion — together, we can help shape a stronger, more sustainable future for transport.
