Brexit does not allow them to work here I guess? Maybe we can advertise in the countries where we are signing new trade deals?
One issue for the workforce size has been lack of new drivers being able to be tested for HGV licences during the pandemic, so hopefully the backlogs here can be addressed. With other people coming off furlough and facing redundancy, there may be more people attracted to re-training as HGV drivers. And perhaps some coach drivers re-training as at least one large coach operator went bankrupt during the peak of the pandemic.
