HGV drivers and the gap in food and drink deliveries grows.

Hospitality was forced to endure the impact of Covid throughout the pandemic. It has also had to manage a
reopening process without hundreds of thousands of non UK national workers sent ‘home’ by Brexit, ending of the
free movement of people. Despite warnings from the UK Road Haulage Association that HGV Driver shortages would
severely damage the UK supply chain. Government’s answer was to increase the daily driving hours allowance of
HGV drivers.
The shortage of HGV drivers just like hospitality workers is due to the ending of free movement of people, leading to a
shortfall of circa 100,000 in HGV drivers. Hospitality has a shortfall of circa 180,000 people across a variety of positions,
leading to availability challenges. However, we are doing everything we can to mitigate these challenges and provide a
reliable consistent service.
