Outsourced Logistics

DSV, one of the world’s fastest growing transport and logistics companies, has been selected as a finalist in the European Logistics Award category of the BIFA Freight Service Awards. The United Kingdom division of DSV has already won their Finalist Certificate and is now in competition for the ultimate Sponsor’s Trophy.

This year, the BIFA Freight Service Awards celebrate their 20th anniversary. This well-established event is recognised as one of the most prestigious in the industry, with the awards themselves becoming increasingly more coveted every year. The competition encourages and rewards high standards and professionalism, representing the ultimate recognition of special achievements in different sectors of the industry.

DSV is a chosen finalist in the European Logistics Award category. Annually, this category is open to companies who have provided their road, rail and short sea customers with dynamic and innovative logistics solutions, helping to bridge the gap between the traditional rigid supply chain and modern efficiencies. BIFA was impressed by DSV’s thorough commitment to efficient and exemplary customer service. The judges felt DSV differentiated itself by the company’s investment in future technologies, which has kept the company in the forefront of the industry.

Managing Director of DSV Road Ltd, Rene Falch Olesen, explains, “Principally, DSV’s strategy for growth is organic, which is the corporate spirit we expressed in our award submission. For us this means we are in a constant state of innovation based on the needs of our customers. We have been able to judge our customer’s satisfactions levels based on the relationships we have formed with them. Their personal testimonials and their repeat business are one of the key elements to our success. At DSV, we believe in doing everything in our power to deliver a high-quality supply chain service to any client, anywhere in the world.”

Recent European Logistics Award winners have included (2007) Ital Logistics Limited and (2006) Seawing Landguard International Limited. The Finalist Certificate and sponsors’ trophies will be presented at the Awards ceremony. This year’s special 20th anniversary ceremony will take place on Thursday, 22 January 2009 at its traditional venue, The Brewery, in the City of London, and will be hosted by the Rt. Hon. Michael Portillo. This gathering of some 450 BIFA members and their guests provides a very valuable opportunity to praise the well-deserving winners, as well as networking with colleagues, customers and other industry representatives.
