More Women Road Haulage Drivers Sought as Annual Logistics Awards Nominees Announced

UK – Women in Logistics has revealed the final shortlist of the most influential individuals and businesses vying for recognition at this year’s Charity Ball and Annual Conference Night on June 17. Now in its fifth year, the Women in Logistics Awards provide a great opportunity to showcase the achievements of the amazing women in the sector and the companies actively working to support the employment of a more diverse workforce in the industry, whilst raising funds for the chosen charity, Transaid, and promoting an industry that is ideally suited to more female workers, from freight clerks to road haulage drivers, a sector desperately short of qualified staff.

 

As usual the winners will be chosen by a panel of industry veterans headed by Richard Wilding, Professor of Supply Chain Strategy at Cranfield School of Management, and announced at the glittering prize-giving ceremony at St John's Hotel in Solihull.

 

The awards and charity dinner will once again follow on from the Women in Logistics Conference taking place earlier in the day. This year's theme is Competency and Talent Development, with speakers including supply chain leaders from Eddie Stobart, Hotel Chocolat and Westminster Business School and a keynote address by Wendy Manning, Vice President - Customer Logistics at Coca Cola Enterprises.
