Entries to any of the categories can be made through the event's website at: www.bifa.org/awards. BIFA's Freight Service Awards are open to all full and probationary Members of the trade Association.
BIFA Director General Peter Quantrill says: "BIFA has long emphasised the value of these awards in driving up standards in our industry, while at the same time acknowledging the skills and attributes of the many hard-working individuals and companies working within our industry.
According to Quantrill, the awards will be presented in January 2013. Judging meetings will be held in mid-October to select four finalists in each category, at which stage finalists will be informed if they have made the final shortlist.
