Earlier today our Senior Public Affairs Lead, @RHA_Ferdy attended an @SME4LABOUR roundtable with @FeryalClark MP (Enfield North) and Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury, @dantomlinsonmp. With profit margins in the road haulage sector hovering at around just 2%, our message was clear: for many transport SMEs right now, success simply means keeping their heads above water. During the session, we pushed for stronger support on cash flow - including reducing statutory payment terms down to 30 days for our sector - and urged Treasury colleagues to freeze fuel duty alongside targeted relief. We also raised the growing challenge of over-devolution creating a confusing patchwork of local transport regulations for national operators. The Minister noted that upcoming devolution plans will focus on supporting key regional sectors and encouraged continued engagement on regulatory burdens. We’ll keep ensuring the voice of commercial road transport is front and centre in every Treasury conversation. #RHACampaigns
