At the Microlise Transport Conference RHA Policy Director Jack Semple will lead the programme looking at issues such as industry image and perception, and the impact on the skills shortage. Brexit will also be featured, with the RHA considering what it means for hauliers. Finally, driver health and welfare will also be discussed.
Semple will be joined by Deputy Policy Directors Colin Snape and Duncan Buchanan in a purpose built workshop space, found within the exhibition area of the conference, which is expected to welcome over 1,200 delegates.
