The moment has arrived… Logistics Manager is proud to present the finalists for the Supply Chain Excellence Awards 2025. So who’s made the shortlist?
The Supply Chain Excellence Awards are the most prestigious prizes in the logistics and supply chain sector, rewarding outstanding projects from around the UK.
After almost three decades, the 29th edition of the Supply Chain Excellence Awards will undoubtedly be the biggest and best to date! More than 200 brands feature on this year’s shortlist, and with a vast range of unique and inspiring entries, the panel of expert judges will have a difficult time choosing the winners this year!
Head judge Richard Hunt commented: “These entries demonstrate the rude health of the sector. The warm embrace given to new technology, the commitment to sustainability and the relentless drive for efficiency all show a healthy, energetic industry determined to continuously improve.”
