The UK Warehousing Association’s (UKWA) Annual Lunch & Awards event will be held at The Royal Lancaster London on Tuesday, 27 June, where around 500 guests will gather to celebrate excellence in the industry, enjoy a delicious lunch and network with colleagues and customers in superb surroundings.

This year there have been more entries than ever before for the ten awards, and according to CEO Clare Bottle, the quality of submissions has been exceptional.

“It’s been a privilege to read of the many achievements across our sector and a tough task to choose finalists in each category,” said Clare. “However, our discerning judging panel has chosen the best of the best and we are delighted to announce our brilliant finalists. Warm congratulations to everyone who made the shortlist and thanks to all who entered this year.  Thank you too to our generous sponsors. We look forward to welcoming as many of you as possible to our flagship Annual Lunch & Awards ceremony in June.”

Awards will be presented to the winners by celebrity speaker and compere Ayesha Hazarika MBE, a respected political commentator and columnist for national newspapers, whose background in stand-up comedy combined with a political inside track promises great entertainment.
