She joins from the House of Commons where she was a chief of staff, having also previously spent five years working as a regional campaign manager.  Solloway-Price will be responsible for working with members to develop 'asks' of government in areas to ensure logistics is at the forefront of the growth agenda and the government's policy development across the nation. She said: "I'm joining Logistics UK at a critical - and exciting - time for the organisation, which I'm looking forward to.

"It will be my job to make sure that our members can continue to influence how roads policy is shaped with a significant share of voice."

Michelle Gardner, the organisation's deputy director said: "Creating a new role focusing on road and regional policy reflects the importance of these two areas for our members and the UK's supply chains.

"Maddi's experience of parliament and campaigning will be invaluable when representing our members' views across government and with key stakeholders, and we are delighted that she has joined our growing team."
