Nominations have opened for the 2016 FTA Everywoman in Transport & Logistics Awards.

The ceremony, which highlights and celebrates the achievements of women from across the transport and logistics industries, will take place on 22 May next year.

Nominations for the individual categories, including driver of the year and the warehousing award, must be made by 1 February. It is free to enter.

FTA chief executive David Wells said: “Women are essential in every aspect of the UK logistics and supply chains – from driver and warehouse staff, to transport managers and managing directors.

"It is essential that the logistics industry is able to access a wide talent pool, to meet its need for good quality staff at every level."
