Phil Roe, Logistics UK president, said: “In appointing Ben we are building upon the successful team we have at Logistics UK and looking to further improve our delivery for members in both public affairs and our business services.
“In particular, we expect to build our influence amongst policy makers and regulators to deliver improved outcomes for the whole logistics sector.”
Fletcher said he was proud to be leading one of the most powerful trade associations in the country and he added: “
“Our sector is the backbone of Britain’s economy, connecting people, products and progress every minute of every day.
“As we confront once-in-a-generation economic challenges and opportunities, I am committed to ensuring our voice drives change at the heart of government and that our members have the services, skills and support they need to innovate, grow and lead the future of logistics.”
Logistics UK thanked former CEO David Wells for his commitment and service over the past 15 years and also Kevin Green for his work as acting CEO.
