The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs has published a high-level overview of logistics hubs. 

The Introductory guidance for the establishment and operation of Agri-Food Logistics Hubs sets out key information covering the potential role, function and establishment of logistics hubs. It is aimed at exporters who use hubs, and also at logistics companies which may want to become a hub.

It explains what a logistics hub is and the services it can provide, who is involved in hubs, and how hubs can help the certification process. It also outlines operational considerations in the setting up of a hub covering location, infrastructure and resources.
