The logistics sector is a hugely important part of the UK economy. It is an important business in its own right, It is also a critically important enabler of the success of other businesses of all sizes and sectors– from corner shops to supermarkets, manufacturers to ebay entrepreneurs, and energy companies to waste businesses. The sector is already extremely competitive, with many small firms and very slim profit marginsAny actions to improve the sector's productivity will result in cost reductions that will, in part, be recycled for much-needed investment in capital and innovation across the sector but will also translate into reduced costs of production and transport of goods and reduced prices for the consumer. Facilitating conditions for growth in the logistics sector is therefore critical to the Government's growth agenda. The diverse package of measures announced in this Review targets real barriers to growth identified by businesses across the sector - from freight transport operators to logistics users in the manufacturing, wholesale, retail, postal services and waste sectors. It is designed to create the right conditions to leverage short term private sector investment in critical pieces of logistics infrastructure and a longer term efficient, competitive and low carbon logistics sector that can service and support the growth that we are expecting to see across the economy as a whole
