Celebrating the people who keep Britain moving. Awards for Excellence 2008 promise to be bigger and better than ever. The awards highlight the achievements of logistics and transport professionals, encouraging best practice and the highest standards of excellence in the industry.
They are awarded to individuals and organisations that can demonstrate excellence and achievement in logistics and transport, and are open to public and private organisations from all sectors.
Excellence is achievable in a many ways, whatever the size of the organisation. However, this is not always recognised, particularly in the case of smaller organisations, where high levels of achievement are often found. The Institute actively encourages entries from small and medium sized enterprises.
The awards are well recognised by the press and the business community, and are a source of pride to colleagues, shareholders, customers and future employees, as well as being the envy of competitors.
Finalists will be invited to a Gala Dinner on Thursday 23rd October at one of London's premier venues, the London Marriott Hotel, Grosvenor Square. This popular event is also attended by sponsors, members and their guests, and offers one of the best networking opportunities of the year.
