CEREMONY Tickets to the ceremony luncheon sold out in early December proving an appetite for the live celebration and, while we hope that we will indeed be able to welcome you all to The Brewery later this month, BIFA is making contingency plans for video announcements to be released should further restrictions be introduced leading to the cancellation of the ceremony.
MAKING PLANS – whether live or virtual, the BIFA Freight Service Awards winner announcements take place this month Preparing for anything
The third Thursday in January is the traditional date for the BIFA Freight Service Awards ceremony luncheon and Thursday 20 January 2022 will be no different although, at the time of writing, uncertainties over the form of the ceremony are creeping in with the rapid rise in the spread of the Omicron variant of COVID-19. By the time you receive this issue of BIFAlink , more will be known and a decision whether the live event goes ahead or not is likely to have been taken. As previously detailed, the response from BIFA Members to the Call for Entries in the summer of 2021 was fantastic. Entries were received from forwarders large and small from all corners of the UK detailing projects ranging from the relocation of penguins, air charters to avoid plant shutdown, Brexit preparedness and education
