The awards took place yesterday in London and were hosted by UK TV personality Suzi Perry.
In total, 11 companies scooped an award, with deugro winning the air cargo category ahead of cargo-partner, Hogg Global Logistics and Killick Martin & Company.
BIFA director general, Steve Parker acknowledged all 29 freight forwarding companies that made the finalists shortlist in the nine service categories, as well as the 12 people who were finalists for the two individual categories.
