The UK’s logistics industry is a key driver of economic growth – not to mention a major supply chain partner, driver of innovation and sustainability, and huge employer.

Unfortunately, this progressive industry rarely gets the recognition it deserves!

Over the last five years, we’ve proudly worked with the RHA to devise, create and deliver a range of stand-out, impactful and multi-channel UK-wide campaigns designed to increase pride, education and understanding of the essential role the logistics industry plays in our lives.

From a post-pandemic RHA Heroes campaign to National Lorry Week and Forum for the Future, our campaigns repositioned the RHA firmly in their members’ minds, delivering commercial success and further cementing their position with partners, MPs and Government policy makers, and of course, the Great British public.

Accelerating a legacy brand - Driving fresh energy into an 80-year-old organisation.

As the UK’s only trade association dedicated to road transport operators, the RHA needed a brand that reflected their future-facing, ambitious approach to business.

Having worked alongside their team, member organisations and partners to develop the RHA’s five-year marketing strategy, we set off to co-create the organisation’s refreshed brand identity and accompanying habitat, including animations, marketing packs, conference videos and updating their long-established members magazine, Roadway.

Taking inspiration from the sector, we created a look and feel that enforces the RHA’s role as a driving force in the road transport industry and an organisation that understands and supports the ever-evolving needs of its members.

The final instalment of our learning came from Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (ED&I) Manager, Samia Benbrih!

Samia delivered an incredible session to our entire team this morning, covering the colonial history of LSTM as it approaches its 125th anniversary and the work being done to deliver race equity, as well as actions businesses can take to truly embed ED&I.

The session proved to us that there is definitely always more to be learnt! Thanks, Samia 🙌

"I think that a group of adults getting together every week just playing, pretending - something you do all the time when you are a kid and then never do again - is really special." - Daniel, our social media consultant

We loved Daniel's BABS (Briefings At Breakfast Session) this morning, all about his hobby, playing Dungeons & Dragons. 🐉 He talked about how it has helped him creatively, and how he has seen it have a positive impact on the mental health of his weekly group, especially in regard to social anxiety.

These sessions are such a great way to start the day. We love hearing about someone's passion, and getting to know one of our wonderful team members that little bit more.

Thank you, Daniel! 👏
