Ben Fletcher arrives at Logistics UK following a distinguished career,
Logistics UK has announced the appointment of Ben Fletcher as its new Chief Executive Officer. He will join the trade association on 1 December and take on his full responsibilities from the start of 2026.
Fletcher arrives at Logistics UK following a distinguished career, most recently as Chief Operating Officer at Make UK. In that role he oversaw public affairs, membership, and the business arms of the organisation, and was central to many of the successes Make UK achieved over the past eight years.
Phil Roe, President of Logistics UK, said: “In appointing Ben we are building upon the successful team we have at Logistics UK and looking to further improve our delivery for members in both public affairs and our business services. In particular, we expect to build our influence amongst policy makers and regulators to deliver improved outcomes for the whole logistics sector.”
Accepting the position, Fletcher commented: *“I am proud to be leading Logistics UK, one of the country’s most powerful trade associations and the driving force behind the world’s best logistics industry.
“Our sector is the backbone of Britain’s economy, connecting people, products and progress every minute of every day.
“As we confront once-in-a-generation economic challenges and opportunities, I am committed to ensuring our voice drives change at the heart of government, and that our members have the services, skills and support they need to innovate, grow, and lead the future of logistics.”*
Logistics UK also paid tribute to David Wells, who steps down after 15 years of service, and thanked Kevin Green for his contribution as Acting CEO. Green will continue as Director of Policy, Marketing and Communications in the new year.
