Howard Logistics Ltd.

As RHA chairman from 2017-2019, Andrew sees one of the key benefits of RHA membership as the ability to discuss with fellow operators and the RHAs own management team, the evolving challenges that businesses and the wider industry continues to face. Also, the opportunity to work with them to finding solutions. In 10 years, he sees the industry as becoming even more professional and hopefully, everyone in the industry will get the recognition that they deserve. 2021 sees P C Howard celebrate its 80th anniversary.

Steve Ward

Board of Directors

Ward Brothers Malton Ltd

Ward Brothers Malton Ltd have been members of the RHA for over 25 years. Steve describes the RHA is the “go to place” for any help or advice you or your business might need. It’s a friendly arm around the Industry! Where does he see the industry in 10 years? Many more electric powered vehicles but larger trucks will be powered by hydrogen cells. This will cause us and the Government problems because they will see the duty on diesel diminishing and road user charging or some other money-making scheme will be imposed!

Barry Jordan

Axle Haulage Ltd

Axle Haulage Ltd, have been an RHA member since the company’s inception in 1988. Barry recognises all the membership benefits but the most important as being the RHA Conditions of Carriage. In 10 years’, and for those that can afford it, the industry will be driven by alternative fuel systems and managed by Artificial Intelligence but still controlled by qualified transport managers. For those that cannot afford it will be same, but with more taxation.
