The shortlist for the Motor Transport Awards 2020 has now been announced and DPD will be hoping to add to its tally of 29 awards, being shortlisted in no fewer than seven categories this year.

Although the Awards presentation has had to be postponed until August 27, and the judging day where our 50 senior independent judges get together to pick the winners and shortlist had to be cancelled, thanks to our online entry and judging process we have our 2020 line up of finalists.

The standard of entries was once again extremely high and MT editor Steve Hobson paid tribute to every company who took the time to put together some outstanding entries.

“I have been involved in the last 10 of the 34 Motor Transport Awards and every year I am incredibly impressed with the strength, resilience and innovation shown by the road freight transport industry,” said Hobson. “Never has the country had to rely more on those attributes than right now.”

For the list of finalists other than Fleet Truck of the Year, which will be announced on May 8, and to book a table, go to the MT Awards website. See you in August at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel to find out who picks up those iconic bronze trophies.
