The Transport Exchange Group, made up of Courier Exchange and Haulage Exchange, recently organised and hosted the 2014 Transport Awards, which reward companies in the haulage and courier sectors within the UK.

This year’s edition marks the twelfth anniversary of this event, and saw the haulage and courier companies partnered with either Courier Exchange or Haulage Exchange be rewarded for their efforts throughout 2013. The official ceremony, held at the Chesford Grange Hotel, in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, saw several of these outfits receive awards based on their performance in all sorts of different fields within the industry.

The categories for which companies were eligible to be nominated included New Member of the Year, Owner Driver of the Year, European Member of the Year, Company of the Year and a special Network of the Year Award – a new addition for this year’s show that seeks to reward a long-standing member of either Courier Exchange or Haulage Exchange that has shown significant expansion and success as the result of this partnership. Most of these prizes were also sponsored by companies affiliated to the Transport Exchange Group, such as Bibby Financial Services, Navman Wireless, Freightlink and One Insurance Solution.

Companies rewarded for their outstanding achievements in customer service, performance and delivery volumes included Eco-Link Logistics Ltd (considered New Member of the Year), CB Couriers (who took home the Owner Driver of the Year Award), Simpex Freight Management (who were European Member of The Year), AMV Couriers (winners of the Company of the Year award) and Speedy Freight, who won the newly-introduced Network of the Year trophy.

The Transport Exchange Group itself is home to the fastest-growing freight and delivery group within the UK and Ireland, and has seen its partner companies haul a total of over 500.000 loads over the past year. According to sources within the company, the yearly Transport Awards are a way to reward these outfits for their success and reinforce the community spirit within the network.
