Justyna Sodel, Director of NN1 Personnel and event organiser, said: “We wanted to create an event for transport operators at local businesses to come together and learn and network with each other. Last time we discussed the challenges facing the transport industry and heard about upcoming changes to the law. The event sold out and attracted a mixed audience of solicitors, HGV drivers, haulage business owners and representatives of transport and logistics organisations who all gave us some fantastic feedback.

“The demand is there to make this a regular event, and to have the support of organisations such as Warwickshire Police, SEMLEP and Highways England shows how valued this conference is already.”
