Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Transport Jim Fitzpatrick MP will be the principal guest speaker at the Annual Dinner of the Freight Transport Association to be held at the London Hilton, Park Lane on Tuesday 6 November.

The Freight Transport Association represents the interests of companies moving goods by road, rail, sea and air. FTA members operate over 200,000 goods vehicles – almost half the UK fleet. In addition they consign over 90 per cent of the freight moved by rail and over 70 per cent of sea and air freight.
