Delegates at this year’s Microlise Conference were divided on whether exiting the EU would have a negative impact on the road transport industry, according to event figures.
At the event at the Ricoh Arena in May, an interactive poll revealed that just 50% of the conference’s 800 attendees thought that “Brexit” would have an adverse effect on the industry.
While 22% of delegates were not sure what the impact would be, 20% believed that leaving the EU would actually have a positive impact on businesses, while 8% predicted it would have no impact at all.
The figures come from the conference’s official report, released last week, which noted that the EU departure debate will become more intense over the coming months.
At the conference this year the DVSA outlined its plans to move away from a culture of enforcement.
