Business Excellence Award
This Award is designed to reward business best practice and excellence for companies working in the commercial vehicle and road freight sector. It is open to third party or own account operators running 11 or more commercial vehicles and any related businesses operating in road freight transport.
In a year in which many operators saw low or no growth in volumes as the UK economy continued to struggle, business plans had to be more adaptable and flexible than ever.
After a brief period when shortage of capacity meant hauliers could have open discussions with customers about getting a fair rate for the job, margins were once again under severe pressure and record numbers of hauliers continued to enter administration. Navigating a way through these stormy seas required a strong business strategy rather than day-to-day firefighting just to survive.
The Award will go to the company that can demonstrate commitment to best practice and excellence in:
- Financial performance
- Excellent customer service
- Strategic thinking as well as quick reactions
- Corporate social responsibility
- Staff development and retention
Entries MUST include accounts for the last three years.
