Deputy technical editor Kevin Swallow went to Doncaster to see a new lighting system for trucks (no, really). Meanwhile, deputy news editor Chris Druce attended a debate on food industry supply chain challenges in London, while Technical reporter George Barrow visited HB Holt in North Lincolnshire and trainee reporter Ashleigh Wight met the good people at DPD.
