HGV drivers are vital to our local economy and the national supply chains. It's fantastic that Birch Services is named one of the 76 Government improvement projects and awarded £272k worth of funding to improve parking and enhance driver welfare.
This scheme is part of a wider Government investment of £12 million matched with £19million from industry to improve driver welfare nationwide.
Applications for the final stage of funding close on 19 June – more information is available here.
