Denholm Good Logistics Wins Sea Freight Forwarder Of The Year

Denholm Good Logistics Limited, an award-winning 3PL provider of end-to-end supply chain services, is proud to announce that it has been named Sea Freight Forwarder of the Year at the 2025 British International Freight Association (BIFA) Awards. This marks the second year running that the business has received this prestigious industry accolade.

The BIFA Awards recognise excellence, innovation and best practice across the freight forwarding and logistics sector. Being recognised for a second consecutive year highlights the strength of Denholm Good Logistics’ people, solutions and customer partnerships, as well as its ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality, bespoke services.

Alan Platt, Divisional Managing Director of the Denholm Logistics Group, and Paul Ferguson, Managing Director of Denholm Good Logistics, attended the awards ceremony on behalf of the business. The event provided an opportunity to connect with peers from across the industry and celebrate the high standards achieved throughout the sector.

This year’s award submission focused on the scalable, tailored sea freight solutions delivered for a key customer as their business continues to evolve and grow. These solutions included dual sea freight strategies to manage urgent and non-urgent cargo, the innovative use of vessels as ‘floating warehouses’, named account allocations combined with spot market optimisation, and rail-based inland transport solutions designed to mitigate port congestion while significantly reducing carbon emissions.

Paul Ferguson, Managing Director of Denholm Good Logistics, said:
