Preparing for WindsorWe are now just a few weeks away from the date the Windsor Framework, and its rules and regulations, will come into force here in Northern Ireland.

Happy New Year…Hard as it may be to believe 2024 is now in the mirrors and we are already driving through the middle of January 2025. All of us here at Export and Freight really appreciate the support you have given us over the past 12 months and hope we can continue that journey with you in the months ahead.

As we roll towards summer, it’s time to get the hoses out. Not to water the garden, but rather to clean our trucks, vans and trailers, as this is the season of shows and you want your vehicles looking their best.

After overcoming the various challenges of 2023,what can the industry look forward to in 2024? As we went to press, it appeared that the return of a power sharing Executive at Stormont was most certainly on the cards, and not before time, so let’s hope an agreement is reached.
