The British International Freight Association -

www.bifa.org

- is seeking entries for its annual Freight Service Awards competition.

As well as encouraging and rewarding high standards and professionalism, these awards also represent the ultimate recognition of special achievement in different sectors of the freight forwarding and logistics industry.

Now in their 28th year, BIFA’s Freight Service Awards are open to all members of the trade association, which represents UK companies engaged in the international movement of freight by all modes of transport.

Sponsored by a number of blue chip companies, each of the eleven award categories is recognised as very prestigious and winning an award has become more coveted year-on-year.

The deadline for entry registration is September 23rd, with written submissions due by October 7th.

The awards ceremony luncheon is an annual event on the industry calendar. This event will take place on Thursday 19 January next year and will be hosted by former competitive swimmer and  television presenter, Sharron Davies with more than 500 BIFA members and their guests expected.  It will provide a valuable opportunity for attendees to acknowledge the winners as well as networking with people from within the industry.

Comments Robert Keen, Director General of BIFA: “The awards represent the chance for the best in the industry to be recognised by their peers, and every year the standards improve. As we organise the awards for their 28th year we are looking forward to yet another successful competition with a large number of entrants.

“Every year, after the awards have taken place, I get members who say that they wish they had entered. So I would urge all members to think about their applications now, so they don’t have any regrets later.

“The awards are an important part of BIFA’s mission to encourage our members in their pursuit of improved standards and excellence within the logistics and supply chain industry.”
