A recruitment agency with a base in Boston has spoken of the vitality and importance of haulage and logistics industry amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

Ambitions Personnel has been sourcing key and low-risk workers for the sector to support the nation’s response to the outbreak (while complying with Government and Public Health England guidelines and restrictions).

Speaking last week, Sarah Elvidge, the agency’s driving division manager, said: “This last week has been the busiest the Ambitions’ Driving Division has ever experienced. The UK must not underestimate the importance of our drivers. An articulated lorry is 44 tons, so imagine how many vans would be needed to deliver the same amount of goods.

“We are ready to help supply businesses with drivers for as long as they are needed. We can live without Netflix, but not without food and vital medication.”
