The Top 30 UK Logistics Service Providers for 2023 have been announced by the Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport in the UK. Now in its sixth year, the highly anticipated Top 30 Logistics Service Providers list highlights organisations who are innovative, progressive and exemplify excellence.
Based on key criteria, the list assesses publicly available data from company’s financials, performance, professional accreditation, gender pay gap, modern slavery statements and human resources. The final ranking is determined by each organisation’s average score across 11 categories.
This year’s list recognises major global logistics players, as well as a number of local family-owned businesses. DHL, DPD, GXO, Wincanton and Kuehne + Nagel took the Top 5 spots this year and for the second year in a row, DHL was crowned the winner of the CILT(UK) Top 30 Logistics Service Providers.
Commenting on this achievement, Saul Resnick, CEO at DHL UK & Ireland said: “This accolade means a lot to us, because the recognition is critical for us to know that what we’re doing is right, and that we’re on the right track. It’s not just about winning or coming first, but it’s really about the fact that the people who judge this award and make the assessments have recognised the steps we take to be better in all the fields that we play in. Whether that’s from a customer point of view, an environmental sustainability point of view, an operational excellence point of view or a people engagement point of view – it’s in everything that we do.”
Andrew Weatherill FCILT, Interim Chief Executive and Company Secretary at CILT (UK) said: “We’re delighted to announce our Top 30 Logistics Service Providers for 2023, our annual Top 30 list recognises those logistics providers who continue to innovate, evolve and deliver. Now in its sixth year, CILT’s Top 30 UK Logistics Providers list has become a staple in the Institute’s calendar and celebrates the vital role that this sector plays in moving, sourcing and storing the things we all need.”
