We at the Partnership hope that you are managing to keep safe and well during these difficult times.
Despite the recent challenges, 2019-20 was another very successful year for the North East Freight Partnership with growing interest and support in the work of the Partnership.
The Partnership has maintained a valued stakeholder group over the years, with input from transport operators of road, rail and water, industry representatives, local authorities, academic and training bodies and key local stakeholder groups. It is important to acknowledge that it is your input and support that has assisted the Partnership to succeed year on year.
The new leaflet which provides an overview of the year’s activities can be downloaded here. We look forward to continuing to promote safe, sustainable and efficient freight transport within the region in due course.

The North East Freight Partnership was first established in 2005 (as the Tyne and Wear Freight Partnership) and represents a collaboration between freight operators, local authorities, academics, freight user groups, industry associations and anyone with an interest in freight. In 2015, it extended its remit to include Durham and Northumberland, as well as the five Tyne and Wear authorities, so it now covers the same geographical footprint as the North East Combined Authority.
The aim of the Partnership is to promote safe, efficient and sustainable freight movement in the region. Each year, the Partnership offers a programme of activities to help achieve our goals. This includes quarterly meetings, online resources, training, promotion of Best Practice, trials of the latest technology and promotion of fleet accreditation schemes and cycle safety initiatives. Please browse the website for more information or contact us directly on the details provided. Our meetings are free to attend and open to anyone who shares the goals of the Partnership.
