BIFA director general, Peter Quantrill, said: “We had a fantastic response to this year’s competition, with six first-time entrants in the finalist shortlist and top quality entries, which were judged by a panel of industry experts. “I was especially pleased to re-introduce the Environment award category this year given the ever increasing importance of green issues in supply chain management. “BIFA fully appreciates that entering the Awards takes time and
effort. I can only applaud the effort put into the entries that were, as ever, of the highest quality.” Quantrill added: “Kristina Ahrens from Peters & May who won
the Young Freight Forwarder Award deserves a special mention. Having moved to the UK from her native Germany in 2006, she has established herself in the niche prestige market of international yacht and motorboat transport. The judges were impressed with Kristina’s passion for the industry and her determination to deliver the best service to the customer which has been borne out by a doubling in the trade she handles.” Quantrill summed up: “Once again, throughout the event, from gathering entries, to judging them and announcing the winners, this year’s awards showed us that the forwarding industry continues to show great resilience throughout varying economic cycles. It is an industry that is adept at matching both its shape and service offerings to the changing needs of its customers. Those characteristics came out loud and clear in all the entries, and particularly the category winners, and will stand us all in good stead for the new decade.”
