Why we celebrate National Lorry Week

National Lorry Week highlights the vital and often-overlooked role that the logistics industry plays in our lives every day. It runs from 25 to 31 October and there will be a lot of activity ahead of the campaign which is our seventh.

We’re showcasing the huge variety of careers logistics has to offer and we’re encouraging young people and anyone who may be considering a new challenge to think about joining the next generation of drivers, managers and technicians.

We’re also asking people to show their appreciation for the sector; after all, nearly everything we buy or use has spent time on the back of a lorry.

National Lorry Week is the perfect time to champion logistics as an innovative, inclusive and sustainable industry full of amazing opportunities.

What is logistics?

Logistics is the industry which manages how resources are acquired, stored, and transported to their final destination.

It’s the lifeblood of business in the UK. Nearly everything we buy has at some point been handled by a number of logistics professionals – from producer, to warehouse operative, to distributor, to delivery driver and others in between.

Many people see logistics as ‘just’ moving goods from a factory or warehouse to the shops or your front door, but that’s only a part of it. There are countless roles which support the logistics process and we’ll be finding out about them during the campaign.

Discover this exciting industry

There are more careers in logistics than you might think

The logistics sector is the fifth largest in the UK and employs more than 2.5 million people including: drivers, planners, IT specialists, warehouse staff, administrators, accountants, architects, technicians, and more. These are just some of them. There are thousands of career paths that support the process of moving goods.
