The UK logistics sector now supports 2.6 million jobs, and the rising demand could also create job opportunities for local people across London. This thriving sector presents an opportunity to build a better London and support the capital’s economic recovery by delivering jobs, protecting the environment and ensuring new homes have access to the services they need.
