RHA gives HGV Heroes the recognition they deserve
Since the UK was sent into lockdown on 23rd March the nation’s reliance on truckers to deliver food, medicines and the all-important personal protection equipment to NHS front-liners has been massive – and the penny has finally dropped. The UK haulage industry does an incredible job – not just in times of hardship but every single day of the year.
The RHA has launched ‘HGV Heroes’ – a campaign that recognises the industry’s workers and the job they do.
From now until 13th August, the RHA will be celebrating the industry’s driving force with HGV Heroes which is open to anyone who works in the sector: drivers, logistics champions and admin teams – it doesn’t matter.
Commenting, RHA chief executive, Richard Burnett said:
“The UK’s road freight industry isn’t just about trucks, it’s about people. It’s about those who’ve quite literally gone the extra mile to keep the nation fed and protected during an incredibly difficult and challenging time.
“HGV Heroes will ensure that they are not just remembered as getting us all through some very dark times – we should be celebrating them every single day.”
Each entry will receive an HGV Hero ‘thank you’ certificate.
At the end of the campaign one lucky nominee will be chosen at random for an additional prize.
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance for us to say ‘thank you’, let’s not waste it.
“Without them we have nothing,” he added.
Each nomination must include their name, job role, company, email address, and a photograph. Please ensure that you have the nominee’s consent to use their photo and name, and also get the organisation’s permission to use their company name across our website, publications and social media channels.
