FTA has appointed a new senior transport advisor, Becky Martin, within its Member Advice Centre (MAC) to assist the team in supporting logistics businesses during the Covid-19 outbreak.

“Working together, we will be able to help our members through the challenges of Covid-19, along with many other issues.”

Robert Saunders, manager of MAC at FTA, added: “With so many conditions changing in the market on a daily basis at the moment, it is unsurprising that we are experiencing record numbers of calls to support members during the Covid-19 outbreak.

“With Martin’s in-depth understanding of transport and logistics – in addition to her exceptional customer service skills – we are thrilled to have her join the team to help us assist businesses through the challenging times ahead, from Covid-19, Brexit and beyond.”
