The finalists for each category in this year's UKWA Awards for Warehousing have been announced and the overall winner of each category will be revealed at a ceremony at London's Dorchester Hotel on 2 July.
Association CEO Roger Williams says UKWA is grateful to all the companies that entered this year's awards. "The ones that did not make the shortlist of finalists should not be put off from entering in future years. The high number and quality of the entries we received underlines the professionalism that runs through the modern logistics industry."
The awards luncheon is widely regarded as one of the premier networking events in the logistics industry's calendar. This year over 400 UKWA members and their guests are expected to attend.
