The Talent in Logistics Awards is a unique, annual event dedicated to recognising and rewarding excellence in training, learning and development in the logistics sector.

A number of other leading organisations are supporting the Talent in Logistics Awards, including UniCarriers, sponsor of the International Forklift Operator of the Year Award, alongside competition partners McCue and test sponsors Pyroban and Transaid. The National Register of LGV Instructors (NRI), is also confirmed as sponsor of LGV Instructor of the Year and RTITB, the leading transport training accrediting body, is also supporting the event.
A few remaining sponsorship packages are still available for the Talent in Logistics Awards and Conference. To get involved, call +44(0) 1903 204187 or contact talentinlogistics@captib.co.uk.
The Talent in Logistics Awards will be judged by representatives of leading industry bodies and associations within the logistics sector including the Road Haulage Association, National Register of LGV Instructors, CILT (Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport) and Fork Lift Truck Association. The panel will also include representatives from event media partners SHD Logistics, Transport Operator, Health and Safety at Work and Training Journal, and charity Transaid.
