The Freight Transport Association (FTA) has announced the appointment of Zoe McLernon as its multimodal policy manager; a newly created role to strengthen FTA’s position as the only business organisation representing all aspects of the UK logistics sector.

Zoe will join FTA’s 17-strong policy team to speak on behalf of its multimodal members to stakeholders and government; she will work to ensure their interests are represented and their views heard and acted upon.     

Alex Veitch, FTA’s Head of Multimodal Policy said, “FTA’s membership is growing larger and more varied each year – we now have 18,000 member businesses across the logistics spectrum – so it is important our policy team reflects this diversity.”

FTA speaks to government with one voice on behalf of the whole transport sector, with members from the road, rail, sea and air industries, as well as the buyers of freight services such as retailers and manufacturers.
