The UK Warehousing Association (UKWA) celebrated in style at its Annual Lunch & Awards event on Tuesday, 28 June, recognising outstanding talent, commitment, and innovation.

The event was held at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London, with Minister for Employment Mims Davies and broadcaster John Humphrys in attendance.

Commenting, Clare Bottle, UKWA Chief Executive, said: “It was fantastic to see so many guests from across the industry gathering again face-to-face to enjoy good company, superb food and to celebrate the best of our industry. We were delighted to welcome Mims Davies, who is a keen supporter of our industry, while John Humphrys entertained everyone with his anecdotes and refreshingly frank responses to audience questions on the current political scene.”

Clare added: “The achievements of all our winners were impressive, but it was particularly gratifying to see the superb quality of young people coming into our industry. Our commitment at UKWA is to build on this, creating opportunity for more involvement for young people within our own organisation and focus on raising awareness of this great sector, drive diversity and attract the best talent to our industry.”
