The awards ceremony took place last night with a glittering reception and celebratory gala dinner at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge, London.

David Wells, chief executive of Logistics UK, said: “This is the best night of the year, and our Logistics Awards brings the sector together showcasing the skills, expertise and ‘can do’ spirit of our industry.
“The passion for our profession was tangible in all the submissions and this year we received our highest number of top-quality entries ever – a clear indicator that the sector continues to innovate and achieve great things for businesses right across the economy.
“All those shortlisted for an award this evening should be very proud of their achievements. The competition was fiercer than ever, generating plenty of ‘heated debates’ among the judges, and all our winners can be justifiably satisfied that they are at the very top of their game.”
