“We now move on to the final judging stage. Winning entries will be judged on the basis of those which provide the strongest evidence of a measurable contribution to the level of safety awareness, or rate of incident reduction achieved by the design. Good luck to all the finalists, and the winners will be announced on Thursday 15th September at the SHD Logistics Awards ceremony”, concluded James.
