Winners of annual eyefortransport European 3PL Awards
The winners for this year's eyefortransport European 3PL Awards were announced and celebrated at a reception during the eyefortransport's 11th Annual 3PL Summit
Each year the eyefortransport 3PL Awards aim to recognise those 3PLs that continuously deliver excellence in logistics operations and superior service to their customers. The nominees are shortlisted by a panel of industry experts, and the winners are then voted on and decided by European 3PL customers - the manufacturers and retailers who depend upon and work with logistics service providers everyday.
As such, these awards take on a special significance, and the winners can feel confident in the knowledge that their customers have chosen them as best-of-breed partners in supply chain excellence.
The awards reception was hosted by eyefortransport, and included senior management from the winning 3PLs, the nominees and their customers, all there to celebrate the finalists and winners. Representatives from over 30 major 3PLs, as well as Heads of Supply Chain for major 3PL users, were in attendance.
“It’s an important year for the 3PL awards,” said Chris Saynor, CEO of eyefortransport. “The increasing commoditization of 3PLs, in Europe and other markets, is putting 3PL-customer relationships under significant pressure. The finalists, chosen by our judging panel, represent companies who are successful in negotiating the fine line between protecting profits and fostering healthy, longterm, vested relationships in the fight against commoditisation. As always, it’s an honour to preside over these awards, which are here to help customer voices be heard.”
