LOGISTICS UK has been invited to join the government’s Brexit Business Taskforce. The invitation, made by Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Michael Gove MP, is in recognition of the industry group helping government to keep Britain trading throughout the Brexit process. David Wells, Logistics UK’s chief executive said, the move acknowledges the vital role which transportation plays in keeping all parts of the economy functioning.
The Brexit Business Taskforce was established by the Cabinet Office in November 2020 to help businesses address the challenges posed by new trading arrangements with the EU from 1 January 2021. Other members include the CBI, Institute of Directors, MAKE UK, Chambers of Commerce and the Federation of Small Business.
