BIFA Freight Award
Monday January 21 2008
The winners of the 2007 BIFA Freight Services Awards were revealed at BIFA’s Annual Lunch and 19th Awards Ceremony on Thursday 17th January at the Brewery, London by special guest, broadcaster and former MP, Mr Gyles Brandreth.
The awards are widely recognised as the most prestigious within the logistics and supply chain industry as they encourage and reward high professional standards and special achievements. This year the competition comprised nine categories, and standard of the entrants was extremely high. Over 25 companies made the final shortlists.
The Uniserve Group were delighted to deservedly win the prestigious BIFA Deep Sea Award having demonstrated logistical innovation to produce efficiency and cost benefits to their customer base. Uniserve were able to lessen the amount of lorry miles through the by-passing of distribution centres and utilisation of dockside warehousing as well as enabling customers to reduce their carbon foot print and introduce other welcome environmental benefits.
Recycling in Action has been pivotal in its role within The Uniserve Group for the implementation of many recycling initiatives that have led to Uniserve picking up the award and Uniserve customers have not only benefited from the carbon emission savings but have also benefited from the additional value in that Recycling in Action has delivered through higher material prices being paid for recyclables.
The BIFA Freight Service Awards have been running for 19 years, and the ceremony has been held at the Brewery in Chiswell Street, London, since their inception in 1989. A carefully selected judging panel consisting of sponsors and independent industry specialists ultimately determines the winners.
The British International Freight Association (BIFA) represents UK companies engaged in the international movement of freight by all modes of transport.
