Launched at its recent Parliamentary Reception at the Palace of Westminster, RHA’s manifesto – ‘Driving Growth, delivering for the country' – pulls together key campaign asks and sets out recommendations to support the sector with its many challenges.
These include:
Richard Smith, RHA Managing Director, said: “We’re facing huge challenges as we tackle unsustainable cost increases, inadequate infrastructure and driver facilities, a major skills gap, and the transition to Net Zero
“A recent report concluded that more than 450 haulage firms went bust last year which is twice as many as the year before, so we need to act fast.
“Our manifesto articulates the key issues our members and others face as cost pressures hit hard, and offers solutions to ease those burdens and drive economic growth.”
