Norman Baker MP, Minister for Transport was delighted to announce the Judging panel for National Couriers Awards 2012.
The magnitude of the responsibility involved in the safe and secure escort of the nation's classified postal material cannot be overstated and to be involved in the Postal and Courier specialisation for almost 50 years (and counting) is nothing short of remarkable.
Reception of the sold out 2013 National Courier Awards at the Institute of Directors in London was awash with gossip of Royal Mail privatisation as friends and colleagues, regional and national networked on a year's adventures in the business of logistics. There was no doubt 2013 saw the attendance of more courier companies from more regions, large and small than have ever been in one room before.
Judges of the National Courier Awards 2012 have voted.
