THE BUSINESS OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE
Entries are now open for the British International Freight Association (BIFA)’s 33rd annual Freight Service Awards competition.
Now in their year, the free-to-enter 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.
The awards are separated into eleven categories -
General categories: Project Forwarding; Specialist Services; Staff Development; Supply Chain Management
Modal categories: Air Cargo Services; European Logistics; Ocean Services
Specialist categories: Cool & Special Cargoes; Extra Mile
Individual categories: Young Freight Forwarder of the Year; Apprentice of the Year
Finalists will be announced towards the end of this year, with the winners being revealed at the BIFA Freight Service Awards ceremony on 20 January 2022, which has become an annual event on the industry calendar, typically attracting more than 500 BIFA members and their guests.
Robert Keen, Director General of BIFA, said: “The awards represent the chance for the best in the industry to be recognised by their peers, and every year the standards improve. In spite of the issues caused by the pandemic last year, the BIFA 2020 Awards were well-supported by Members, culminating in an online awards ceremony. I sincerely hope that January 2022 will see a return to the traditional luncheon ceremony at our usual venue, The Brewery in central London, to celebrate the BIFA Awards 2021 competition. The disruption over the last year caused by the pandemic, EU-Exit, chaos in the container and airfreight sectors, among other issues, presented Members with multiple obstacles and the judges are expecting a bumper crop of entries detailing the inventive and innovative methods that forwarders have developed to meet those challenges.”
Sharon Hammond, BIFA’s Training, Media & Events Co-ordinator added: that a few sponsorship opportunities are still available, but disappearing fast.
The deadline for entry to the awards is 7 October 2021 and entry forms can be downloaded from awards.bifa.org/awards
