On the opportunities front, the growth in online shopping is fuelling a global consumer boom and seeing an increased need for haulage services. Increased usage of technology is allowing hauliers to operate in a more cost-efficient, safe and compliant manner whilst delivering an enhanced customer experience; however, the industry is struggling to attract a new wave of skilled young drivers who are ready to take on the challenges of the job. A removal of the free EU labour market might yet impact this further, with a large number of workers in the UK’s haulier companies currently coming from EU countries.

Hauliers are looking ahead and building up their business for long-term success. This involves strategic repositioning and investment in the skills, tools and best-practice management processes that enable haulage businesses to operate as effectively and competitively as possible.

This kind of investment will invariably require finance. Most hauliers are keen to preserve their working capital to maintain a reliable, secure business that can handle any curveballs that come from out of the blue; at the same time, big banks are still slow to lend.
