The Overall Winner Award is the most highly coveted supply chain award in Europe.
For the second year running, German companies dominated the Aerospace, Defence, Industrial & Automotive category.
This was a hard fought category with four good contenders for the prize.
As always, the Public Sector, Services &Utilities category was a difficult award to judge owing to the great diversity of entries.
Traditionally, the Hi-tech, Communications and Electronics category is the highest scoring sector, and this year certainly didn’t disappoint.
This year there were only two companies that met the strict criteria for reaching the shortlist in the Sourcing & Procurement category.
From a slow start a few years ago, the Contribution to Environmental Improvement category is now one of the most active, with a growing number of very worthy entries.
Exemplary customer service is central to supply chain excellence, and this Award certainly offered a fine selection of initiatives aimed at driving up customer satisfaction levels.
As may have been expected, the Logistics & Fulfilment category received a great number of entries again this year – and hence, the shortlist was long, making the judges’ task that much harder.
