RHA and FTA help Deliver the Economy - today
The Independent is printing and distributing a
special supplement today, Delivering the Economy. Supported by the
Freight Transport Association and the Road Haulage Association,
it aims to show how good our road freight system is. “We’re
delighted to sponsor this,” said Geoff Dossetter, external
affairs director for the FTA. “It’s a major opportunity
for the industry to promote itself to the public.” Kate Gibbs,
communications manager at the RHA agrees: “At last someone
is taking the initiative on this one. The industry often says it
is ‘misunderstood’; this is an excellent opportunity
to do something about it. Go and buy a copy and see it for yourself!”
