Crowning a year of exceptional performance, SDV receives a major honor at the prestigious Air Cargo News Awards.

Every year, industry publication Air Cargo News holds a glittering event in London – the Cargo Airline of the Year Awards. The ceremony, held at the Lancaster London Hotel on April 28th, was attended by the leading players of the air cargo industry and this year totaled 550 guests.
For the last five years, Air Cargo News has included the category of ‘Global Freight Forwarder of the Year’, sponsored by Virgin Atlantic Cargo. For the first time, SDV was victorious in winning this coveted title.

Award host, broadcaster and former MP (Member of Parliament) Gyles Brandreth, introduced SDV’s win, stating: ‘The global airfreight forwarder award is presented to the logistics company that has consistently demonstrated best practice with a proven portfolio established over many years. This company truly focuses on quality over quantity.’

Claude Picciotto, SDV’s Airfreight Purchasing Director, was delighted to collect the award on behalf of SDV from Nick Jones, Vice President EMEA Sales of Virgin Atlantic Cargo.

SDV’s success against fierce competition in this category comes from a determination to succeed despite the current economic climate. Air Cargo News announced: ‘Where others have struggled, SDV has continued to be busy through the downturn around the world’

SDV, a subsidiary of the Bolloré Group, is a global leader in supply chain management ranking among the world’s top 10 in transport and logistics with a network of 540 offices in 93 countries.
