Working it out

The Food Storage and Distribution Federation (FSDF) has continued to support logistics service providers who will be affected by the Olympic Route Network closures and restrictions during the London 2012 Olympic Games.

The FSDF recently concluded a programme of Olympics Planning Workshops, which have helped to ensure that the Federation's members are able to satisfy their customers' requirements and maintain food supplies to businesses and consumers in London during this busy period.

The workshops also provided practical advice on how to manage their businesses through the disruption and congestion that is forecast in London between July and mid- September.

Due to the success of this programme, Transport for London announced that additional workshops have been scheduled.

Chris Sturman, FSDF CEO said: "We are delighted to have been asked to support TfL on a further five Olympic Planning Workshops. Since the previous set of workshops, London councils concluded that the deliveries will be made out of hours in order to reduce traffic congestion. This is crucial."
