Logistics UK has said the logistics sector welcomes the agreement in principle, following the announcement of the US/UK trade deal but awaits more detail with interest.
Head of Trade and Devolved Policy at Logistics UK, Nichola Mallon, explained: “The logistics sector will be intrinsic to delivering the boost to trade that has been promised from the US/ UK trade deal – our members will welcome the fact that a deal has been negotiated.
“We will be scrutinising the detail of the agreement in the coming weeks to identify the opportunities for growth that the deal should bring. After so much discussion and uncertainty around our trading relationship with the US, our members will appreciate the clarity and greater certainty that the agreement should provide. Businesses have been unsettled by the lack of clarity and consistency provided for traders since tariffs were announced: hopefully the agreement will lead to a period of greater stability.”
