Nominations for Logistics UK’s Van Awards 2022 now open

Nominations for Logistics UK’s Van Awards 2022 have opened, and with so much excellent competition across the sector, the business group is advising all operators to apply now for the chance to be recognised as the best in the industry. Concluding with an awards ceremony to be held at the Hyatt Regency, Birmingham on Friday 16 September 2022, the awards – which include a drinks reception and three course lunch – recognise the ‘best of the best’ and celebrate the van and light commercial vehicle (LCV) operators which have made a significant contribution to the industry throughout the past 12 months. Nominations for the awards close on Friday 15 July 2022; those wishing to enter are encouraged to do so, regardless of whether they operate a large fleet of hundreds of vehicles, a mixed fleet, or just a single vehicle.

Chief Executive of Logistics UK, David Wells, comments:

“Van drivers play a crucial role in the UK economy and are often required to meet challenging time pressures while navigating traffic and dealing with changing road spaces and updated legislation. By placing driver wellbeing, safety, efficiency, innovation and sustainability at the heart of their businesses, these van drivers are setting the best example of what the logistics industry requires in order to function at its highest potential. Their resolve and tremendous hard work do not go unnoticed, and Logistics UK is proud to be celebrating the dedication of those working in this vital sector.”
