Celebrating BIFA’s finest
The team from Hemisphere Freight Services celebrate the Extra Mile Award, January 2022
This month sees the 34th annual BIFA Freight Service Awards ceremony luncheon at the Brewery in central London. Over 540 guests will attend the sold-out event for a celebration of the finest BIFA Members. Open to all full trading Members of BIFA, regardless of number of offices, number of employees, kilos of freight handled or length of trading, the BIFA Freight Service Awards invites entries to a range of categories in the summer each year. After the closing date, all submissions are reviewed and a shortlist of finalists (https://awards.bifa.org/finalists/finalists-2022) for each category is announced who then go on to compete for the sponsors’ trophies. At the BIFA Awards 2022 luncheon, all 46 finalists will receive their certificates from Sir Peter Bottomley MP, BIFA President, and ceremony host Kevin Keegan MBE. This issue went to press one day after a thrilling World Cup final between Argentina and France, and we are sure that Kevin will comment on that final, the tournament in general, and on the performance of England and Wales in his own inimitable way after lunch.
