They reward the invaluable service which our talented individuals and companies provide to power the vital movement of goods across the UK and further afield,” comments David Wells, Chief Executive of the FTA. “So many organisations want to enter the awards that we felt it only fair to give them a little more time, after the holiday break, to craft their entries.
