Event Information

Now in its 28th year, The Supply Chain Excellence Awards were launched as an initiative to recognise and reward organisations around the world that demonstrate excellence in their supply chain operations.

These Awards are renowned for the rigour of the judging process which also provides valuable feedback for entrants.

The key objectives of the Awards are:

•  To provide a unique networking opportunity for the world’s senior supply chain professionals

The 28th Awards will be presented on the 28th October 2024 at a glittering award ceremony at Grosvenor House, London.

The Supply Chain Excellence Awards are designed to celebrate the achievements of ‘end-user’ business who have or those working on a functioning supply chain of any organisation.

Yes, there is no cost to enter.

Yes, but please do keep each entry as unique as possible.

We are accepting entries from companies based in the UK and Europe only.

Entries Open on 1st March.

Once you have registered yourself on the platform, you will be able to prepare your entry online. With this system you do not have to complete your entry in one sitting. You can work on it over time, saving your progress as you go. This makes it much easier to get your entry together. The new platform also makes it easier for us to (for example) limit the number of words submitted in entries, thus making the entry process a more level playing field. This contributes to the fairness and rigour of the Awards.

All entries are strictly confidential. No details of any kind will be shared to anyone other than our judges.

Our judges all have to agree to a confidentiality agreement before they see any entries. Judges will not divulge or utilise confidential information gained from judging submissions, or discuss with any other party, any details of any entry that they judge.

The shortlist is usually announced in late August and is featured in the September issue of Logistics Manager magazine.

If shortlisted, you will be asked to present (online) to a judging panel. You will not be able to choose your day or time, so please make sure your presenter is available, and that you have an alternate. It you’ve entered as a joint entry, all parties should be present in the interview, or your winning chances will be significantly lower.
