Ranked highest for both customer service and financial stability

Tradeteam has been named European Transport Company of the Year 2010 at an awards ceremony in Brussels. From an initial list of thirteen candidates, from thirteen countries, six were chosen as finalists. Tradeteam took the award with Belgian haulier Van Dievel second and Romanian operator International Lazar securing third spot. The remaining three finalists came from The Netherlands, Sweden and Germany.

Judging the high standard of entries was a jury composed of leading logistics magazine editors from across Europe, together with Analytiqa and PricewaterhouseCoopers, who support the nominated hauliers’ submissions and presentations, with analysis of customer service and financial performance, respectively.

Tradeteam is a joint venture between DHL and Molson Coors and is the UK’s leading drinks logistics business. As a part of the judging process, the Company was ranked highest for both customer service (by Analytiqa) and also for financial stability (by PricewaterhouseCoopers).

Tradeteam’s network includes 30 operating sites, a 600 strong fleet of vehicles and more than 2,000 employees. The Company delivers to more than 30,000 on-trade outlets and 7,000 off-trade outlets every month. Its customer portfolio includes Molson Coors, Anheuser-Busch Inbev and JD Wetherspoon.
