SSM Group in partnership with BPC is launching an annual awards program to recognize excellence in Logistics, Transport and Supply Chain in Malta.

There are currently thousands of practicing and experienced logistics professionals in Malta. They range from directors and managers of supply chain operations to specialised IT experts and clerical and warehouse/transport based support staff.

Notwithstanding the increased profile and importance placed on the Logistics and Transport profession in the last few decades, the efforts and commitments of these dedicated and skilled people have not been duly recognized. TransLog Awards aims to fill this void, recognize and reward these individuals and organizations for their achievements during 2013.

The attached Briefing Materials provide you with a detailed description of the Awards programme, so that you may begin to identify the most appropriate initiatives for consideration by the Adjudicating Panel. Please review them carefully and do not hesitate to contact info@ssmgroup.org or 21231015 with any questions.

Over the next four to six weeks, we encourage you to identify the most appropriate team to complete your application. We have launched a dedicated website, www.translogawards.com, where other details are provided as well as details on the Transport and Logistics Conference to be held on 9th October – on the eve of the Presentation Ceremony – and the reservations procedure for the Awards Gala Dinner on 10th October 2014. Reservation for both the Conference and the Awards Gala Dinner is on a ‘’first come first served’’ basis and as seating is limited it is advisable to book as early as possible.

In this initial year (as we gain momentum), we have decided to limit the applicant pool to one entry per organisation per category. (This does not limit the number of applications by any company as long as each one is in a different category.) This will ensure that we have sufficient time and resources to organize an extremely credible and transparent selection process, where each application is reviewed and scored by a number of Malta-based and international judges.

The panel of judges for the TransLog Awards will include a number of impartial respected members of the business community.

We eagerly look forward to receiving your applications and hope your participation will make for a dynamic and inspiring inaugural year of the TransLog Awards.
