The Road Haulage Association is delighted that the chairman of the Association’s Rescue and Recovery Group, Richard Goddard, has been presented with The Green Flag Gold Truck Award.

The award, presented at the recent 25th Anniversary Dinner of the Institute of Vehicle Recovery, recognises Richard’s tireless contribution to the rescue and recovery industry and his continued support of the Institute in its programme of standards improvement.

Richard was more than a little surprised at the announcement and this was reflected in his acceptance speech. “I have said on many occasions that the recovery industry never ceases to amaze me and, this award from the IVR firmly underlines those sentiments! I have a very high regard for everyone at the Institute and for all that they have accomplished. It also means a lot to receive the award from all the guys at GreenFlag, not least my old friend and manager Pete Williams.”

RHA Chief Executive Roger King was also delighted at the news: “The Rescue and Recovery Group is one of the newest sector groups within the Association. It is a group that is growing on an almost daily basis and we are delighted that Richard, as its Chairman has received this well-deserved award.

"Rescue and recovery operators have an extremely tough job and on far too many occasions, their work goes unnoticed. I sincerely hope that Richard’s award will raise awareness of their work - not just within the recovery sector but throughout the entire transport industry”.
