2014 eft 3PL Awards Shortlist Revealed - Voting Now Open
The awards celebrate the top 3PL’s in 10 different industry verticals for excellence in service delivery as selected by leading manufacturers and retailers.
This year’s industry judging panel, comprising of senior manufacturers, retails and industry experts has just released the shortlist for this year’s nominations.
A new category we are adding this year is ‘Best 3PL for e-commerce fulfilment’. This is a highly specialized area, and one that everyone can see is growing hugely. Chris Saynor, eft CEO explains more about this award. “Which 3PLs have been able to successfully take advantage of the opportunities, and been able to deliver their services in a successful manner to their clients in this arena? Rather than get our judges to name a shortlist, this award will be decided by a completely open vote by retailers and other corporate users of 3PLs in this space. Please note we are not looking for the best pure parcel delivery company for home delivery such as the USPs, but the best 3PL who has services that assist retailers in their e-fulfilment capabilities.”
Voting will be open until the 28th of May make sure you get your vote in before then.
