UK Logistics Leaders Warn Politicians Underestimate Sector's £163bn Economic Value
Leaders within the UK's logistics industry are sounding the alarm that politicians do not comprehend or appreciate the sector's immense value to the national economy. The industry, which contributes an estimated £163 billion in Gross Value Added, is often overlooked in governmental policy and planning. Key figures are now calling for the creation of a dedicated minister for logistics to ensure the sector's needs are met. This includes demands for a long-term strategy addressing critical infrastructure and a growing skills shortage, arguing the industry is treated as an afterthought despite its vital role.
