Superdry, with its logistics partner Clipper, has taken the Overall Award in the 2018 Supply Chain Excellence Awards.
The Award was presented at a glittering ceremony before hundred of supply chain leaders in London last night.
Superdry fought off strong competition from some global supply chain leaders. Among the highest scoring entries were Heineken, Keysight Technologies, Ocado and Turkcell. But ultimately, the contenders came down to John Lewis with Knapp, Sky with Unipart, and Superdry with Clipper Logistics.
Innovation was a key theme of the Awards this year and highlighted the dramatic developments in both supply chain thinking and technology that is changing the market.
The Retail Innovation Award went to Ocado with its partner PW Gates, while Shell took the Technology Innovation Award.
The Award for Robotics Innovation was taken by China Post with Beijing Geekplus Technology.
And the Award for Supply Chain Innovation, sponsored by flex, went to HP.
The 22nd Supply Chain Excellence Awards took place at the Park Lane Hilton in London on 6th November.
