This year marks the 32nd anniversary of the Institute’s annual awards, as CILT(UK) continues to celebrate and showcase the remarkable achievements of organisations and professionals across the logistics, transport, and supply chain sectors.

The winners were revealed at the iconic Silverstone Circuit in Northamptonshire, where 12 CILT(UK) award finalists took pole position.

The ceremony was held yesterday (25 September), after the Institute’s annual conference which showcased several well-respected keynote speakers from organisations such as DHL, Rolls Royce, conference headline sponsor Unipart, the NHS and more.

The Institute’s award ceremony spotlighted outstanding contributions to diversity, sustainability, health and wellbeing, technological innovation, and logistics best practice across the sector.
