Finalists announced for Logistics UK’s coveted annual awards

Logistics UK’s board – consisting of representatives from some of the country’s most influential logistics businesses – will now complete the final round of independent judging before winners are announced at the celebratory event on Thursday 7 December 2023 at the Park Plaza, Westminster Bridge.   

Highlighting the achievements of companies and individuals that have made a significant contribution to the logistics and supply industry in the past 12 months, the awards evening – sponsored by supply chain and logistics specialists, Bis Henderson Group – will include a glittering champagne reception and three course meal, with entertainment to be provided by award winning stand-up comedian Milton Jones.   

“Our industry has seen off a number of key challenges in the past year to continue to deliver for customers and the breadth of our dedicated sector’s work is reflected in this year’s awards shortlist,” said David Wells, Chief Executive of Logistics UK. 

“Narrowing down the entries from the high-quality submissions has been incredibly difficult, and I don’t envy those selecting the final winners.  

“I would like to thank all those who entered and congratulate all our finalists. We are set for a thrilling night of celebration in December.”
