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.

Regarded as one of the most enjoyable events in the third party logistics (3PL) industry’s calendar, the UKWA Awards for Warehousing reward excellence in the third party logistics sector and attract entries from some of the most influential companies in the logistics and materials handling industry.

There are nine awards categories in total – with the Technology and Innovation Award open to non UKWA-members.

"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.

Roger Williams comments: "The Awards Luncheon represents an excellent opportunity to network with some of the most influential figures in the logistics and materials handling industry. 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."
