ASCL Awards chairman, Vince Aisthorpe.

This year is the 50th anniversary of the Australian Supply Chain and Logistics (ASCL) Awards, the longest-running national awards program in the industry.

The event will be held at the Crystal Palace, Luna Park, Sydney on Thursday, 28 October.

According to the ASCL Awards chairman, Vince Aisthorpe, the 2010 awards will return to its traditional black tie format as widely requested by industry participants.

The awards are designed to recognise achievements in the supply chain, logistics and transport industries by individuals and companies and to acknowledge the innovative projects that are being carried out every day in all parts of Australia.

The program allows nomination of suppliers, business partners, companies or people who work for them and publically recognises their efforts.
