Logistics UK signs security pact with TAPA

[ October 10, 2025   //   ]

Logistics UK has formed a partnership with TAPA EMEA, the Transported Asset Protection Association’s Europe, Middle East & Africa region, to share information and increase resilience across the industry. It forms part of Logistics UK’s campaign to improving driver safety and welfare and follows other agreements with NAVCiS (the National Vehicle Crime and Intelligence Service) and the app-based service Motorway Buddy, both with the intention of improving reporting around vehicle crime and highlighting ways for drivers to avoid and prevent potential criminal attacks on vehicles.

Logistics UK head of road freight policy, Maddi Solloway-Price, said: “The safety and security of our members’ staff while delivering for the economy is of paramount importance, which makes our partnership with TAPA EMEA such a great fit for us. As the world’s leading supply chain security and resilience association, TAPA EMEA is committed to helping minimise losses from its members through information sharing, training and monitoring. By tapping into their expertise, and sharing our own knowledge with them, we are confident that the partnership will help to drive awareness of and create solutions for future issues, before they occur.”

TAPA EMEA president and chief executive, Thorsten Neumann, added: “Growing industry collaboration to highlight the threat of cargo crime to supply chains in the UK, and increasing awareness at a government level, is very encouraging. TAPA EMEA and our members are only too aware of the high level of freight crime across the UK. As well as gathering and sharing more intelligence to understand when, where, and how these crimes occur, we also encourage industry stakeholders to use the various security and crime prevention solutions already available to reduce the chances of falling victim to cargo crime.”

As part of the new partnership, representatives of Logistics UK will be attending the annual conference organised by TAPA EMEA, to discuss ways of working together and sharing information with their members.
