M id-June, as I wrote these words, was characterised by thick cloud, heavy rain showers, a chilly northerly wind and a distinct lack of sunshine. But mid-June also marks the launch of the BIFA Freight Service Awards competition each year giving BIFA Members the opportunity to shine with their case studies spotlighting their work and activities of the past year. A number of BIFA Members were celebrating at the Multimodal Awards on 11 June. Whether you were one of them or not, all BIFA trading members are now invited to enter the BIFA Awards 2024. Why enter? Crafting the perfect entry takes effort and you may be struggling to justify the time required, so what can I say to convince you to enter? • Get the team involved – everyone has valuable input and this could be a great time to do some team building with the added motivation of the chance to win • Writing down your processes and discussing your achievements can be a great way to analyse what you are doing and may lead to even further improvements
• Free publicity – throughout the competition process, BIFA publicises the finalists and winners across its own channels and in the trade press • Digital logos, framed certificates and glass trophies all look great on display and show your current and potential customers that you are up there amongst the best in the business • Reward your team and entertain customers at the BIFA Awards ceremony luncheon at The Brewery in central London on Thursday 16 January 2025. Look out for the announcement of the celebrity host soon.
