With the countdown on to the Multimodal 2023 Awards, organisers have announced which businesses, thought leaders and associations have been shortlisted for the prestigious honours.
Over the last four months, votes have been cast from registered visitors and exhibitors to Multimodal 2023 which takes place from 13–15 June at Birmingham’s NEC. The Multimodal Awards recognise outstanding industry-leading supply chain businesses and individuals, with organisers this year splitting two of the awards categories, Road and 3PL, to ensure that SMEs also get the recognition they deserve.
Event Director Robert Jervis commented: “The Multimodal Awards are one of the fairest in the sector as we ensure that all size of businesses are represented. An independent nomination and voting system is used to ensure that all those shortlisted can be proud of their nomination, whether they win – or not.
“The votes are made for the industry, by the industry, so being part of the shortlist is an independent endorsement of a company's or individual’s excellence.”
There are three award categories, one of which is judged and awarded by the Multimodal team. The Modal Awards are nominated and voted for by the attendees, exhibitors, visitors and newsletter readers. This year’s shortlist is as follows:
