Great to see the APPG and its current fuel duty inquiry mentioned on BBC News (UK) today by Lesley O'Brien OBE FCILT, who provided evidence to the APPG on the impact of rising fuel costs on UK haulage businesses. We look forward to sharing our findings in the coming weeks Greg Smith MP.

Great piece in the The Mirror today highlighting the key findings of the Road Freight and Logistics APPG's #fuelduty report. The report concludes that rivers should have 15p taken off their fuel duty, which would have a knock on effect in reducing supermarket costs. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

Following the publication of our #fuelduty report we would like to highlight some of our key findings. Our industry survey found that 92% of hauliers have felt little to no impact following the Government's 5p cut to fuel duty earlier this year.
