The FTA has appointed Becky Martin as senior transport advisor within its Member Advice Centre (MAC) to assist the team in supporting logistics businesses through the COVID-19 outbreak.
Martin joins the FTA from John Lewis Partnership where she held the post of transport and administration manager
She will be working as part of the MAC team which provides members with advice on legal, technical and operational matters across a range of topics including Brexit, COVID-19, drivers' hours, and vehicle maintenance standards.
FTA MAC manager Robert Saunders said: “The FTA MAC has established itself as the authority on all aspects of logistics. With so many conditions changing in the market on a daily basis at the moment, it is unsurprising that we are experiencing record numbers of calls to support members during the COVID-19 outbreak.
“With Becky’s in-depth understanding of transport and logistics – in addition to her exceptional customer service skills – we are thrilled to have her join the team to help us assist businesses through the challenging times ahead, from COVID-19, Brexit and beyond – her arrival in the team couldn’t have come at a better time.”
