During his speech at the BIFA Awards, Ade


recalled his first day at school in east London as a seven-year-old, for which his mother saw fit to dress him in a pink-check suit with frilly dress- shirt. Although he had to admit that this did divert attention away from the callipers that he had worn since being struck down with polio. Unperturbed by circumstances, Ade was soon making friends playing playground football. At the glittering awards ceremony attended by


540 guests, eight winners from the 33 freight forwarding companies that were shortlisted as finalists, as well as three individual award winners, were announced by the category sponsors who joined Ade on stage to present the trophies. The winners of the eight general, modal and
