From regional haulage and international freight to airport logistics and home removals, the businesses recognised in the 2026 Haulage and Logistics Awards support the movement of goods and people in very different ways. This year’s Winners and Finalists demonstrate how dependable service is strengthened by investment in infrastructure, technology, safety and workforce development.
Our 2026 Haulage and Logistics Awards Winners
Combining international reach with a strong regional operation, Simarco International Ltd is named Industry Leader in Transportation. Its Stoke-on-Trent logistics hub brings together contract logistics, warehousing, customs expertise and multimodal transport, helping customers access UK, European and global markets. Continued investment in capacity, apprenticeships, internal progression and regional suppliers shows how the business has aligned operational growth with workforce development and longer-term supply chain resilience.
Reliable haulage depends on people, infrastructure and the ability to adapt, all of which underpin Hallam Express Ltd and its win for Best UK Haulage Company. The three-generation family business provides part-load and full-load transport, Moffett deliveries, pallet distribution and warehousing from its 220,000 sq ft facility in Rotherham. Its Warehouse to Wheels programme creates routes for employees to gain and progress their HGV licences, while GPS tracking, fleet monitoring and investment in lower-emission equipment support responsive and increasingly efficient operations.
Operating around the clock in one of the UK’s most closely controlled logistics environments, Bradford Swissport Ltd receives Best UK Logistics Business. Through the Heathrow Consolidation Centre, the company manages secure warehousing, screening and delivery for retailers and other airport partners across every terminal. Its airport logistics system provides end-to-end visibility of goods, while automation, electric HGV trials and work with autonomous handling technology are helping the business improve efficiency, safety and operational resilience. Customer satisfaction scores of at least 4.8 out of five over the past three years further support its recognition.
A successful home move should reduce uncertainty rather than add to it, and that customer-focused approach earns Alltranz Ltd the title of Best Home Moving Business. Based in Daventry, the family-run company tailors each move to the household involved, providing packing, transportation, furniture disassembly and reassembly, and secure storage where moving dates do not align. Its experienced team, carefully managed storage facilities and focus on clear, personal service have helped the business build trust with customers across Northamptonshire and beyond.

Delivering Reliability Across the Sector
The Haulage and Logistics Awards reflect a sector in which reliability is built through careful planning and continual investment. Whether coordinating freight across borders, supplying a major transport hub, managing palletised goods or helping a family move home, these businesses must combine efficient operations with clear communication and consistent service.
This year’s achievements also show how the sector is preparing for what comes next. Training programmes are creating routes into logistics careers, expanded facilities are supporting greater capacity, and technologies such as real-time tracking, automation and electric vehicles are improving visibility and efficiency. We are pleased to recognise our Winners and Finalists for the practical work they are doing to keep customers, supply chains and communities moving.
