CILT survey shows strong support for EU

The survey also showed 65% of respondents believe that the logistics, supply chain and transport industry will have a stronger future if the UK remains in the EU.

The members were also asked if their business will be a in a stronger position for the future if the UK remains in the EU, to which 58% responded ‘yes’.

The CILT survey received 676 responses.

Kevin Richardson FCILT, chief executive, CILT, said: "The message from our members reveals that, both as individuals and from a business perspective, a majority are in favour of the UK remaining in the EU. The Institute does not align itself with any campaign and respects that our members do have split views on this issue. However, part of our role as a professional body is to inform and the conclusion from this member survey suggests that those involved in our industry believe we will be stronger by staying in the EU."
