The 2010 United Kingdom Warehousing Association (UKWA) Awards for Warehousing presentation ceremony and luncheon takes place at the Dorchester Hotel, London, on Wednesday July 7th.

"I would urge any company in the logistics sector that has developed a productive or service that benefits our industry to consider entering the Technology and Innovations Award," says Roger Williams, UKWA’s chief executive officer.
Last year, Jungheinrich UK Ltd collected the Technology and Innovation Award for their automated pallet ID and scanning solution.

Networking is one of the most important business tools available and, in the current recession, being pro-active in networking your business has become more vital than ever. A network of personal and professional contacts is imperative and there are few better places for those in the third party logistics services industry or suppliers to the sector to network than at UKWA’s Awards for Warehousing event."
