RHA Chairman launches National Lorry Week 2016
Today, day two of the Commercial Vehicle Show saw Road Haulage Association National Chairman Jim French launch National Lorry Week 2016 which will run from 19 until 24 September.
Commenting, Jim French said: “The theme of this year’s event is the ‘The Next Generation’ and is designed to raise awareness of the vital role played by this industry in everyday life. We want to improve the reputation of road haulage and logistics operators in the UK and we want to involve as many RHA members as possible. By working together we can improve the reputation of the industry and by doing so, attract the front line logistics workforce of the future.
“Following on from the 2015 event, we will support RHA members who want to run their own events at their own locations, with event resources and promotional activity, through local press and media.”
Planning is already well underway for a vast range of National Lorry Week activities. These include two major 'industry days' - one in Scotland and one in England. A list of events so far is attached.
