THE British International Freight Association (BIFA), is seeking entries for its annual Freight Service Awards competition.
BIFA will include a new category - the Environment Award - that is open to companies wishing to present a specific 'green' initiative or case study.
BIFA director general, Peter Quantrill, said: "The greening of the supply chain is now very much on everyone's radar. Consumers, politicians and lawmakers, as well as shippers and their employees, are keen to play a role in reducing the harm that carbon emissions can create for the global environment. Our new category recognises those members who have stepped up to the plate and undertaken efforts to work towards a green target and should encourage those who are setting out."
As well as the new Environment Award category, which is sponsored by CargoWise edi, two categories have been renamed: the Deep Sea category becomes Ocean Freight; Training and Staff Development becomes Staff Development.
"The awards keep on getting better and better. Each year, we are delighted at the quality of the entrants who are aspiring to be recognised as the best in the industry. That is why each year the standards improve. In this my second year, I am looking forward to yet another successful competition, with a large number of entrants,"said Quantrill.
"Every year, after the awards have taken place, many members tell BIFA that they wish they had entered. So this year, make you do enter and help make the awards, now in their second decade, the best ever," added Quantrill.
