The FTA has launched an online ‘member-to-member’ portal, providing companies with an opportunity to share and discuss the availability of their fleet or staff during the COVID-19 crisis.
The web-based logistics swap-shop follows on from the success of the association’s #LogisticsHelpsLogistics campaign, which used the hashtag to link businesses in need of personnel or fleet resources with available workers or vehicle capacity.
It said the member portal has two forums, one for companies to share and discuss the availability of their fleet or staffing needs and one for members to discuss the resource they require.
Kevin Green, FTA marketing director said: “With the social media campaign reaching more than 1.3 million logistics workers within just five days, we are confident the launch of FTA’s dedicated member portal will make a significant difference in helping to keep goods moving across the UK during the outbreak.”
The FTA added it will waive its joining fee until 30 April.
