It's a great honour, as I look around the room, I see so many significant figures from the transport industry to celebrate the industry in all its brightness.  The whole industry has shown so much resilience not just to carry on during the pandemic but to build back a better environment for the sector which paves the way for the future.   I am so excited to link the DVSA with the IoC to learn together and face future challenges and I look forward to a long and productive association between the two.
