C ontinuing to highlight the categories of the BIFA Freight Service Awards, in this issue of BIFAlink we take a closer look at the awards in the General and Individual categories. If you missed them, the Modal and Specialist categories were featured in the August BIFAlink . GENERAL CATEGORIES Project Forwarding – sponsorship package available The successful handling of major project shipment requires much planning and a multi-disciplinary team. In this category, BIFA invites case studies from Members that have completed an out-of-gauge project or co-ordinated a complex movement that has reached a conclusion in the past 12 months. Specialist Services – sponsored by Thyme IT The services offered by a modern freight forwarder extend far beyond the provision of basic transportation and documentation. This category is for value-added services that enhance the customer experience enabling them to concentrate on their core business. Such services need not be modal specific and could include warehousing, pick and pack, technology service, air or shipping line agency, or express services. Staff Development – sponsored by Albacore Systems BIFA Members, whatever their size, need comprehensive training programmes to keep abreast of regular changes in regulations, industry practices and general business matters. In this category the judges want to understand how you encourage and develop all personnel to “be their best” and contribute to the success and direction of your business.
Supply Chain Management – sponsored by Boxtop Technologies Have you worked with a customer to analyse its existing procurement procedures and provided a customer-focused, innovative solution enabling a more efficient and cost-effective management of that supply chain? If the answer is ‘yes’, then this is the category for you. INDIVIDUAL CATEGORIES Apprentice of the Year – sponsored by *NEW SPONSOR* Menzies LLP In this category BIFA Members are invited to nominate outstanding individuals to showcase the difference the named apprentice has made to their organisation. Young Freight Forwarder of the Year – sponsored by Virgin Atlantic Cargo The Young Freight Forwarder Award was established to recognise an individual with the drive and ambition to flourish in the international freight industry.
