RHA wins SME business and trade association award

The RHA won the SME Business and Trade Association of the Year at an industry event at the start of November.

They were crowned in a strong field at the SME4Labour Excellence Awards 2025 in London which recognises organisations and individuals who make a difference.

Richard Smith, RHA Managing Director, said: “This award recognises our effective stakeholder engagement and the collaborative way we work with partners, members, and decision-makers to champion the haulage, logistics, coach and van sectors.

“It’s always pleasing to see my colleagues recognised for their efforts and the impact they make through strong relationships and shared purpose. This is also testament to the work our members do to help us shape a better future for our sector.

“A huge thank you to everyone who voted and supported us.”

The Award comes as the RHA recently celebrated its eleventh National Lorry Week campaign (3-9 November) which celebrates people in the sector and promotes the industry as an aspirational career choice.
