The winners of Logistics UK’s annual awards were named at a gala event held in London.

In its ninth year, the Logistics Awards organisers say this year saw entries from the road, rail, sea and air industries, all displaying outstanding commitment, knowledge and expertise of their sectors. 

“The quality of candidates nominated for Rising Star of the Year meant the judges could not separate a winner,” organisers state. “And chose to recognise two individuals: Beth Baxter, Fleet Coordinator at Swain Container Solutions and Elliott Lancaster, Innovation Manager at Omnes Global and PhD candidate at Keele University.

“Logistics Leader of the Year was awarded to John Trenchard, vice president commercial & supply chain at DP World. Trenchard was recognised for his Modal Shift Program, resulting in the removal of 28,000 tonnes of CO2 and almost 9 million truck miles in 2024.”
