This has been a week of unprecedented measures for all of us, writes Road Transport Media divisional director Vic Bunby.
The continued spread of the COVID-19 virus, daily changes in government advice and guidelines around travel restrictions and social gatherings have been challenging, and unlike anything we’ve seen before.
Like you, we have been working hard behind the scenes, planning the coming weeks and months as new information becomes available. I would like to update you on the status of our upcoming activities.
At the present time all events from August onwards remain unaffected, this will be under constant review. We will have a dedicated COVID-19 events page on each of our websites where you can check the status of specific activities as the weeks unfold.
As long standing and trusted media partners to the road transport industry, through our brands we remain committed to keeping you up to date with news, information and stories as they unfold. Parts of our industry are currently on the frontline, working hard to keep food stocked, petrol pumps working and home deliveries moving. You can access all of our coverage through our magazines, online platforms, social media and eNewsletters.
If you have any questions, or think that we can do anything to support you, please contact me directly.
Stay safe, stay healthy and stay in touch.
