FTA becomes Logistics UK

[ July 17, 2020   //   ]

The Freight Transport Association (FTA) will change its name to Logistics UK on 27 July.  It will however continue to represent the whole sector, including road, rail, sea, air, retailers and manufacturers.  The change of name was planned for earlier in the year but was postponed due to the Covid crisis.

Chief executive David Wells commented: “FTA is strong because of its size and scale and because we already represent all of logistics, a very large sector critical to the success of UK plc. The name change to Logistics UK is a natural progression and makes it more obvious to stakeholders, like policymakers and young people looking to develop a career in logistics, that we are the only business group that represents the whole industry. I believe this change will strengthen our position, and give us a great opportunity to achieve even more for members in the months and years to come.”
