BIFA awards: winners step forward

The British International Freight Association (BIFA) has revealed the winners of its Freight Service Awards 2014 at a ceremony in London.
Robert Keen, BIFA’s director general, commented: “In a neat twist to celebrate the 26th staging of the awards, it was fitting that 26 different BIFA Member companies were in contention, plus our young freight forwarder finalists.”
The air freight award – sponsored by IAG Cargo – went to DSV Air & Sea. The judges thought this company stood out from the shortlist by demonstrating “remarkable growth” in a very competitive sector. Utilising its chilled facilities, the judging panel felt it had developed a specialist service that was of huge benefit to its customers.
The other finalists in this category were Brunel Air Cargo, MOL Logistics (UK) and Uniserve Group.
