Celebrating National Logistics Day – why the sector matters more than ever

National Logistics Day (28 June) is more than a date on the calendar – it’s a reminder of how essential the logistics industry is to everyday life. From delivering groceries to hospitals receiving critical supplies, logistics is the backbone of our economy. And at the heart of it all? Skilled, professional drivers.

Why Logistics Matters:

• Keeps the country moving: 98% of all food and consumer products in the UK are transported by road.
• Supports jobs: The logistics sector employs over 2.5 million people across the UK – and the demand keeps growing.
• Drives the economy: It contributes billions to the UK economy, underpinning retail, healthcare, manufacturing and many more sectors.

Despite being essential, the sector is facing a critical shortage of drivers. Thousands of positions remain unfilled, creating a unique opportunity for people looking for a secure and rewarding career.

How You Can Be Part of It:

You don’t need a university degree to enter this vital and growing industry. With the right training, you can join a respected, in-demand profession that offers flexibility, independence and real job security.
