Freight forwarder Metro was announced as the winner of the air cargo business of the year award at this year’s Logistics UK Awards.
The awards ceremony took place last night with a glittering reception and celebratory gala dinner at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge, London.
In total, 17 awards were up for grabs, with shortlisted entrants from across the logistics sector, including representatives of the road, rail, sea and air industries and operators, manufacturers, logistics businesses and supporting sectors, which were recognised for their commitment, knowledge and expertise.
David Wells, chief executive of Logistics UK, said: “This is the best night of the year, and our Logistics Awards brings the sector together showcasing the skills, expertise and ‘can do’ spirit of our industry.
“The passion for our profession was tangible in all the submissions and this year we received our highest number of top-quality entries ever – a clear indicator that the sector continues to innovate and achieve great things for businesses right across the economy.
“All those shortlisted for an award this evening should be very proud of their achievements. The competition was fiercer than ever, generating plenty of ‘heated debates’ among the judges, and all our winners can be justifiably satisfied that they are at the very top of their game.”
