A total of 15 companies walked away with a prestigious Air Cargo News Award on Friday night at a grand ceremony in the UK.
230 people attended the 38th Air Cargo News Awards ceremony, presented by actress, writer and comedian Lucy Porter at the Runnymede on Thames hotel in Surrey.
Companies scooped an award based on a mix of direct voting by supply chain professionals and company submissions judged by an esteemed panel of industry experts.
Thanks to our independent expert judges for giving up their time and effort to scrutinise the entries.
We’d also like to praise our charity partner for the evening, the Humanitarian Logistics Association, for the work it has been doing to help people requiring humanitarian assistance.
A full list of winners and pictures from the night can be found on this site, while a full write-up of the event will appear in the Autumn issue of Air Cargo News.
