'We are very proud of our service,' logistics firm boss says after national award recognition from Palletways UK
Leading logistics provider Active Carriers has received a national award recognising its performance from Palletways UK - Europe’s largest express palletised freight network.
The Tipton-based company has been honoured with a prestigious Platinum Award – the highest accolade within the Palletways network – for its outstanding service and operational excellence throughout the last year.
The recognition was announced during the annual Palletways UK conference and awards evening held at Silverstone, where a record 20 member companies were awarded Platinum status.
The awards were presented by Palletways UK managing director Rob Gittins, alongside impressionist, comedian, actor and presenter Jon Culshaw – best known for the BBC Radio4 comedy Dead Ringers.
Rob Gittins said: “The Platinum Awards celebrate the very best of our network. Active Carriers has consistently demonstrated a commitment to excellence and this victory reflects the hard work and standards they uphold day in and day out.
“This has been a record year for the awards, with 20 winners being named instead of the usual 10.
"This shows just how high the bar has been raised across the board - and to be named among the top performers is a tremendous achievement.”
Mark Adams, joint principal of Active Carriers, said: “We are very proud of our service to the Palletways network and it is always rewarding when our team’s service and hard work is recognised. The Platinum Award is an achievement by all departments across sales, admin and management to drivers and forklift drivers. None of it happens without everyone’s dedication and as principal’s Paul and I are proud of the whole team.”
He added that the business will continue to build on this success and remains focused on delivering a platinum performance that sets them apart within the network.
Active Carriers is one of over 120 independent transport providers that are part of the Palletways UK network. They benefit from shared expertise and resources from within the group to deliver consignments of palletised freight to market faster and more cost-effectively than ever before.
