Setting the benchmark for industry excellence, Multimodal has revealed the finalists for its distinguished 2025 Awards, which highlight outstanding performers across the logistics and supply chain sectors.
The Multimodal Awards recognise outstanding achievement across air, road, rail, maritime, and the freight logistics sectors. This year’s nomination window opened early, resulting in record engagement from professionals throughout the supply chain.
Known for its independent endorsement for excellence across supply chain organisations of all sizes and individuals, the Awards use an industry-leading voting system that ensures fairness and credibility throughout the selection process.
Commenting on the Awards, Event Director Robert Jervis said: “The Multimodal Awards have taken on even greater significance this year as they recognise the extraordinary resilience and innovation shown by businesses and individuals across our sector during rapidly changing times. Our independent nomination and voting system ensure organisations and individuals can be celebrated for their exceptional contributions.
“These Awards represent a moment for the industry to come together and acknowledge the dedication and adaptability demonstrated throughout the logistics and supply chain community. In the face of ongoing challenges, the standard of excellence we’ve seen is truly remarkable.”
