The Logistics Research Centre (LRC) was established in 1998, and is one of the main centres in the UK for research on freight transport and logistics. The LRC has conducted extensive surveys of users and providers of freight transport services, in-depth case studies, statistical analysis of large primary and secondary data sets and various forms of computer modelling. It has recently diversified into new fields, most notably maritime transport, sustainable distribution and global supply chain management.
