About this award

Logistics Warehouse and Supply Chain Awards

Introducing the Logistics Warehouse and Supply Chain Awards

Returning now for its fifth year, the 2021 Logistics, Warehouse & Supply Chain Awards will aim to recognise those industrious individuals and firms within the sector who have gone above and beyond to provide a top-class service.

Transporting goods from A to B, at the correct time and quantity, can be the most crucial part to retaining clients and customers. Brexit has already shown delays in getting shipments delivered on time and undoubtedly the increase in costs. As the coronavirus pandemic continues to supersede our livelihoods this sector has seen a huge demand as customers turn to online shopping at an unprecedented level. This demand means suppliers are now needing to invest in additional materials such as, blockchain, IoT, 5G, more distribution centres as well as an increase in taking on more staff.

Through this awards programme, we want to recognise the efforts of those behind the scenes who, through extensive planning and execution, allow their clients to trade with ease.

The awards programme is open to all businesses regardless of their location and size. Incorporating all traders and businesses within the sector, from supply chain management, to third party logistics, freight logistics and warehouse services, each winner will be judged on the merit of the products and services they offer alone, to ensure that the most deserving businesses get their chance to show pride in their success.

Winning a 2021 Logistics, Warehouse & Supply Chain Award provides you with the evidence you need to prove that beyond doubt, you stand out from the crowd. Enhancing your victory with visual reminders, allows for the promotion of your brand to extend even further, which in turn can attract new employees and new clients looking to work with the best in the industry. Receiving third-party recognition helps to boost the reputation of your brand and the trust in the products and services you offer.

With just over 840,000-page views in the past 12 months, and a worldwide circulation of 130,000 Corporate Vision remains the perfect platform for businesses looking to promote their brand across a global readership and each winner in the 2021 Logistics, Warehouse & Supply Chain Awards has the chance to utilise the Corporate Vision platform to share their news with our highly engaged audience.

In order to determine our lucky few, our in-house research team will carefully analyse the information that is available both online and in the public domain as well as any materials supplied by nominees. Additionally, nominees will be given the opportunity to prepare a short case file disclosing details of their chosen business sector and practice, as well as any previous accolades awarded. Case files, product samples and media packs are all accepted but are not mandatory to be included in the 2021 Logistics, Warehouse & Supply Chain Awards.

With all of this in mind, if you know of or are a member of an organisation which you feel is worthy of acknowledgement then please complete the voting form below.

Our Methodology

Gathering Nominees

Researching nominees

The Corporate Vision team work diligently to identify market leaders, innovators and enterprising start-ups, driving many of the nominations themselves.

We also encourage external nominations from Corporate Vision subscribers, online visitors, social media followers, clients and from our wider group circulation.

Nominating parties are invited to put forward either third-party businesses whom they hold in high regard, or their own organisation.

Shortlisting

Shortlisting nominees

All nominees are formally requested to accept their nomination. Should any firm or individual rather decline at this point, they are simply taken out of the running.

Nominees who formally accept their nomination are given the opportunity to submit additional materials in support of their initial nomination. Although there is no obligation to supply material, we have found that many nominees value this stage in the process as much as our research team.

Evaluating and Judging

Evaluating and judging

Our dedicated research team will assess all material submitted by the nominee in order to determine winners based on merit, not popularity. The team also gather information independently from a variety of publicly accessible sources.

Ultimately, the research team casts their judgment based on various criteria, including:

  • Client dedication
  • Innovation
  • Business growth
  • Longevity
  • Online reputation
  • Customer feedback
  • Business performance
The Lucky Winners

Winners

Once winners are determined, they are personally notified before any public announcement is made, allowing time for any communications throughout the wider business and the coordination of marketing strategies.

Once the press embargo is lifted, details of the winners will be made public via the website, award winners’ magazine and subscriber newsletter.

Making the Most of Your Win

Making the most of your win

We are prepared to offer a range of promotional packages and items to Corporate Vision winners, which vary from inclusion in the free-of-charge winners’ directory, to trophies, content in the magazine and online advertising.

We encourage all winners to publicly announce their win independently. Announcements via company websites, social media, press releases, and through local and national press are all great ways of maximising the exposure which can be gained from such an achievement. If you have need of further advice, please feel free to get in touch. We are happy to assist our clients with their needs.

FAQs

How long has Corporate Vision Magazine been in circulation for?+
Corporate Vision was launched in December of 2014. Since then, the magazine has been published monthly to a global circulation of 155,000 business leaders, managers, recruiters and experts. The platform is bought to you by AI Global Media, a B2B digital publishing group founded in 2010. The group currently has 13 brands within its portfolio including luxury lifestyle, construction, healthcare and small business focused publications. AI Global Media is dedicated to delivering content you can trust to each of its readers, subscribers, clients and visitors.
Where did the nomination come from?+
In the interest of nurturing an environment proven to produce a high response rate, we don’t ask nominees to reveal any personal identity. With regards to methodology, we often nominate candidates ourselves and, when it comes to voting, if you didn’t cast a vote through a self-submission, it is likely to have been cast via a colleague or client who has received one of our direct invitations. One of the main mantras of our awards system is that your ability to succeed is not linked to the number of votes received, meaning your award is presented purely on merit. In the interest of security and fairness, we are able to track unusual behaviour on our website to identify repeat votes and cyber-threats.
What happens if I agree to be shortlisted?+
In the interest of focusing our efforts on relevant and eager candidates, we ask all nominees to accept their position on the shortlist giving people complete control in the decision on whether they would like to move forward with the award. Nominees who accept are subject to our scrutiny during the internal vetting procedure and are given the opportunity to present their own data to be considered alongside information collated by our research team. This can take up to 8 weeks for final assessments to be rendered.
Who makes the final decision?+
We employ an entirely impartial panel of five individuals to conduct all research. At the helm of the panel, is a veteran academic leader with international academic and training experience and is well versed in research, fact-checking and mediation. This two-tiered system allows for a neutral mediator which we feel allows a more efficient method when determining individuals and companies most deserving of winning an award and has brought us much success and commendation throughout its use.
Is there a winner’s ceremony/award dinner?+
The short answer is, no. We decided to not focus our efforts on a celebratory event. Despite being an enjoyable occasion, it doesn’t support our group’s philosophy of cost-effective marketing. We follow the belief that optional costs associated with an award are better placed in a year’s worth of online marketing for the winner rather than spending large sums on a ceremonial evening. Our press announcements are made digitally, online and across our network to enforce our position as digital publishers. We aim to provide you with the tools (both digital and physical) to generate real-world value.
What happens if I am deemed successful?+
After you have been notified, we enforce a short press embargo while the programme manager liaises with you to establish your preferred method of coverage. Generally, our coverage takes the form of a digital celebratory magazine, but we also offer physical trophies, wall mounted certificates and plaques and digital certificates, web-based advertisements and press releases which can be custom designed for you or your company.
Are there any costs involved?+
As mentioned, there are no compulsory costs in accepting a nomination or winning an award with Corporate Vision. We do offer a variety of paid additional benefits for our winners, but these are completely optional. To demonstrate our commitment to no mandatory fees, all our winners are offered a free of charge promotional package. Our company policy will always remain that, regardless of budget, our clients should always be able to garner the full value of the award and our seal of approval. We offer a variety of promotional opportunities to our winners, as we have an extensive network and we know, more than anyone, the wider business benefits from promoting industry awards.
