The winners of the 2014 Irish Logistics and Transport Awards were announced last night. The event was held at the DoubleTree by Hilton Dublin on the Burlington Road (formerly the Burlington Hotel) and Irish Comedian Colm O’Regan hosted this year’s awards.

The event attracted over 450 representatives from across the industry in Ireland, who came together to celebrate the best the industry has to offer. There were a total of 18 categories to be decided, and over 100 companies had entered the awards.

The prestigious trophies were handed over to winners while the beaten finalists were compensated with a certificate of recognition. CILT Ireland would like to congratulate their finalists and commiserations to those who did not make it through on this occasion. The awards are one of the highlights of the logistics and transport sector in Ireland and it was another great occasion.
