Retail supply chain win

Import Services has been named Best Retail Supply Chain Company by the Institute of Transport Management in its 2011 Roll of Honour.

ITM awards are presented to innovative companies responsible for developing transport, with Import Services being recognised for its port-centric contribution to retail supply chain logistics in the UK.

Philip Leung from ITM said: "Import Services offers best of breed port-centric logistics services from their base in Southampton, the first UK port of call for deep sea container ships.

"Import Services demonstrates real understanding of the working procedures and systems requirements of retailers and their clients' supply chains, which extends to managing product flow from source, to shelf or direct to consumer, efficiently. Client service is therefore a focus, with account management at Import Services actively engaged in their clients' businesses."
