Road Haulage – a major component of the logistics sector

Did you know that road haulage is worth around £13.5 billion to the UK economy and 89% of freight in the UK is moved by road? Or that there are over 600,000 heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) in the UK and 1.8 million people work in transport and storage?

Road haulage is a major component of logistics, a sector that keeps things moving for other industries, ensuring vital raw materials, spare parts and finished goods get to where they need to be. Many of our logistics clients and contacts are members of the Road Haulage Association (RHA) and we're pleased to support this vital part of the economy.

The RHA has been advocating for the road transport industry since 1945, providing its members with technical and professional services including:

Industry representation: represents and campaigns for UK road haulage operators with government and regulators.

Training and qualifications: provision of driver CPC, transport manager CPC and other industry training courses.

Legal and compliance support: advice on transport law, operator licensing and regulatory compliance.

Business support services: access to services such as fuel cards, insurance and tachograph analysis.

Information and guidance: updates, resources and advice for running a haulage business.

The Information Factory is delighted to be an associate member of the RHA and we believe our range of business intelligence, advanced analytics and data driven solutions will help its members drive their business forward.
