A welcome return to live celebrations
BIFA Members and their guests gathered once again at The Brewery in Central London on 20 January to celebrate the finalists and hear the announcement of winners of the BIFA Freight Service Awards 2021. The last time that we were all able to be together was in January 2020, when COVID-19 was something that was happening elsewhere but had yet to make an impact on the UK. We have all now experienced what it is to live through a global pandemic and we continue to learn the best ways to mitigate the effect of this disease on both our personal and professional lives. The massive success of the vaccine roll-out in the UK has at least dented the ability of the virus to cause major illness and this has allowed some return to normality, albeit a new normal. With this reassurance and the support of sponsors, BIFA was eager to return to the in-person awards ceremony and was delighted to welcome rugby star and TV personality Matt Dawson MBE as the host for the 33rd BIFA Freight Service Awards. Guests were welcomed to the ceremony by Robert Keen, BIFA Director General, and Sir Peter Bottomley, BIFA President. They then enjoyed an excellent three-course meal before being regaled with stories of Matt Dawson’s experiences both on and off the rugby pitch. This was followed by the announcement of the 11 category winners and presentation of a special recognition award to an industry stalwart. The categories and their winners were: Air Cargo Services Award – Sponsor: IAG Cargo The achievements of 12 outstanding winners were celebrated at the BIFA Freight Service Awards 2021, held at The Brewery in Central London
