The 29th National Courier Awards recognises the best of the best in the courier industry - from wheels to office, contract and military. A gala evening celebrating excellence from courier companies large and small, regional and national footprint alongside each other in a unique network of all things courier from postcode indexed tables to clapper rattlers and Curly Wurlys, we celebrate the very best of final mile.

2025 sees exceptional category entries from two wheels to four, dedicated contract and office. The event date is Oct 21st . Awards open with bubbles for a network and natter reception of the Who's Who of express logistics. All in the express industry national, regional organisations large and small are welcome. The event is inclusive, aimed at our front line; dress code is business. This is about our people and the awards have gained an impressive reputation for celebrating those people. Rattling the clappers, munching the Curly Wurlys and celebrating excellence.

The awards are independent and not sponsored. 2025 sees an amazing list of nominees to make the task of Simon Brookes, chair of the judging panel, harder than ever before. Ending the evening, a final moment to announce the best-kept secret in the sector, a rare Services to Industry Fellow is expected for 2025.

 

 

It's time to be ready to rattle the clappers.

For 2025, the awards will close with a super-hero category and the announcement of new services to industry winner.

The National Courier Awards are independent and without sponsorship, they recognise everyone in the express final mile sector.

The winners remain a secret until the evening of the awards, winners must be present to be awarded one of the prestigious National Courier Awards. The panel of judges is chaired by Simon Brooks.
