Finalists for this years 'International Freighting Weekly Awards' have been announced, with Allport achieving their fifth shortlisting.

Winners in 2005 and 2009 Allport's Supply Chain Management division are looking for an unprecedented third win in their highly contested category.

Allport SCM managing director, Danny Clayton commented:

'It is no longer innovative for retailers to simply source their product more effectively off-shore, we work with them to review all aspects of their supply chain networks, adapting them to create sustainable competitive advantage.

"The true key to supply chain success and the reason we participate in these prestigious awards is to highlight the critical importance of creating a partnership; one in which strategy, goals and vision are shared."

This years IFW awards will be held in London at The Hilton, Park Lane on October 28th.
