About this listen

Uncertainty. Pressure. Progress.

In the latest episode of Roadway – The Podcast, I’m joined by James Lean from Barclays to unpack the findings of their newly released Logistics Confidence Index — and what it really means for the road transport sector.

The Index has fallen to its lowest level in a decade, yet resilience remains a defining feature across the industry. We explore why that is, and how operators can plan ahead despite market ambiguity, rising costs and accelerating digital change.

James shares insights on:

  • Scenario planning and maintaining working capital headroom

  • Why collaboration and confidence go hand in hand

  • Capex, consolidation and investing through uncertainty

  • The growing risk of a two-speed logistics sector in the AI era

Whether you’re running a haulage business, coach fleet or van operation, this episode offers practical perspective on navigating what comes next.

Listen now — wherever you get your podcasts.
