[ October 16, 2025   //   ]

Logistics UK will appoint Ben Fletcher as its new chief executive from 1 December, following the departure of David Wells at the end of July.

Ben Fletcher was lately chief operating officer at manufacturer’s group, Make UK where was responsible for public affairs, membership and the business arms of the organisation and was at the heart of the success it enjoyed over the last eight years.

Logistics UK president, Phil Roe, said: “In appointing Ben we are building upon the successful team we have at Logistics UK and looking to further improve our delivery for members in both public affairs and our business services. In particular, we expect to build our influence amongst policy makers and regulators to deliver improved outcomes for the whole logistics sector.”

Ben Fletcher commented: “I am proud to be leading Logistics UK, one of the country’s most powerful trade associations and the driving force behind the world’s best logistics industry. Our sector is the backbone of Britain’s economy, connecting people, products and progress every minute of every day.

“As we confront once-in-a-generation economic challenges and opportunities, I am committed to ensuring our voice drives change at the heart of government, and that our members have the services, skills and support they need to innovate, grow, and lead the future of logistics.”

Logistics UK thanked David Wells for his commitment and service over the past 15 years, and Kevin Green for his excellent work as acting chief executive. Kevin Green will continue as director of policy, marketing and communications in the new year.
