Reflections, thanks and congratulations

Reflecting on the entries for the Awards our CEO, Nick Jones, has stated: “As main sponsors for this year’s inaugural Ligentia/Retail Week Supply Chain Awards, we have been delighted by both the quality and quantity of entries across all of the Award categories. At a time when we are all reading on a daily basis about the challenges facing retail in the UK, it is refreshing to be involved with a very positive retail event, and one which gives us all a chance to recognise publicly some of the great talent we have within our industry. Thank you to all those companies, and their employees, who have entered the 2011 Ligentia/Retail Week Supply Chain Awards and our congratulations to those very talented people who have made this year’s short-lists.”

Ligentia promoting excellence in Supply Chain practice

At Ligentia we felt that, with the continuing difficult trading conditions for retail through 2011 and into 2012, the intelligence, commitment and dedication of Supply Chain Professionals deserved recognition. These committed individuals, teams and companies are helping to reduce inventory, manage vendors, shorten lead times, improve fulfilment, and generally contribute to maintaining their businesses’ success. Therefore, when the opportunity to partner Retail Week as the headline sponsor for the Supply Chain Awards 2011 presented itself, we were pleased to accept.

In our own situation, as a preferred supply chain management provider to leading UK retailers, we at Ligentia understand how companies in ‘demand driven’ environments need flexible and responsive logistics operations. We continue to develop and execute strategies and initiatives, tailored to partner companies’ individual requirements, exploiting our broad range of services and global expertise. Creating integrated solutions programmes that maximise the available value to be leveraged from supply chain operations, therefore positively contributing to their continuing competitiveness.

You can still book for 7th September

We feel the Awards evening will become one of the most important events in the Retail Supply Chain calendar. This year the event will be hosted by comedian Russell Kane. It represents a great opportunity for networking with peers, suppliers, retailers and industry leaders, developing business partnerships and even seeing how our winners’ innovations could help you. Beyond these opportunities it is also a great team night out! The Ligentia team will be there, and we will look forward to renewing existing, and making new, acquaintances.
