Logistics Matters shortlisted for award

Logistics Matters editor Simon Duddy said: “It’s great to receive recognition for the hard work the team has put into the rebrand. We felt it was the right time to do it, given that warehousing and logistics has evolved so much over the last 10 years or so.

“The rebrand has been well received by readers and advertisers alike, and has allowed us to broaden our scope, most notably by focusing much more on Warehouse Property, with award-winning logistics property specialist Liza Helps leading this content.”

Logistics Matters’ parent company, Western Business Media (WBM) has been shortlisted for 10 awards at the prestigious PPA Independent Publisher Awards.

WBM publishes seven business to business publications, holds nine live events, multiple awards ceremonies and also provides contract publishing services.
