Portsmouth-based logistics firm honoured with national award from Palletways UK
Leading logistics provider, Ferryspeed, has received a national award recognising its performance from Palletways UK, Europe’s largest express palletised freight network.
The Hilsea-based company in Portsmouth has been honoured with a prestigious Platinum Award – the highest accolade within the Palletways network – for its outstanding service and operational excellence throughout the last year.
The recognition was announced during the annual Palletways UK conference and awards evening held at Silverstone, where a record 20 member companies were awarded Platinum status.
The awards were presented by Palletways UK Managing Director Rob Gittins, alongside impressionist, comedian, actor and presenter Jon Culshaw – best known for the BBC Radio 4 comedy Dead Ringers.
Speaking on the awards, Rob Gittins said: “The Platinum Awards celebrate the very best of our network. Ferryspeed has consistently demonstrated a commitment to excellence and this victory reflects the hard work and standards they uphold day in and day out.
“This has been a record year for the awards, with 20 winners being named instead of the usual 10. This shows just how high the bar has been raised across the board - and to be named among the top performers is a tremendous achievement.”
Kathy Pardoe, Palletways Principal at Ferryspeed, said: “We’re delighted to have retained our Platinum Member status with Palletways. It’s a fantastic achievement and a true testament to the consistent hard work, professionalism, and dedication of our entire team here in Portsmouth. Their commitment to service excellence continues to set us apart.”
