Logistics UK named the winners of its sixth annual Logistics Awards at a gala dinner held at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge last week. 

The awards recognise and celebrate the companies and individuals that have made a significant contribution to the logistics and supply industry in the past 12 months. 

David Wells OBE, chief executive of Logistics UK, commented: “Resilience is the watchword which is synonymous with logistics, and you should all be incredibly proud of the work you have done in the past 12 months to keep trade flowing and customers happy. What other industry would quietly cope with all the challenges and continue to deliver when the working environment seemingly changes every week? The fact that shops, schools, hospitals, building projects, infrastructure and factories continue to provide what their customers require is testament to your hard work right across the UK. 

“Our industry is one which I am very proud to work in, and I congratulate all those shortlisted, and to the winners - you really are the crème de la crème.”
