Free Brexit readiness workshops for hauliers

To provide hauliers with the information they need to keep their EU-UK operations running as smoothly as possible after the UK leaves the EU, FTA has launched a series of free half-day workshops, taking place throughout September and October 2019 in venues across the UK.
 
The workshops are funded by the Department for Transport (DfT), which has chosen FTA to help educate hauliers on the new procedures and trading conditions under a No Deal Brexit.
 
The FTA's John Lucy, comments: “With the UK and EU yet to reach an agreement on their future trading relationship, it is vital goods vehicle operators are as prepared as possible for a No Deal Brexit on 31 October 2019. In this scenario, new border procedures and haulier responsibilities will come into effect immediately. Hauliers must ensure they fully understand the new road haulage procedures, documentation requirements and responsibilities that will arise after 31 October 2019; otherwise, they risk their operations coming to a standstill.
 
“While we are still waiting for clarification from government on several points – such as UK tariff regimes in the medium term – goods vehicle operators must ensure they have done everything in their power to prepare for the challenging times ahead: starting with these workshops.”
 
More than 100 free workshops will take place at locations across the UK, including Belfast, London and Coventry, throughout September and October 2019. To book a workshop, please visit www.fta.co.uk/brexitworkshopsPR
