Nominations for the 2021 Amazon Everywoman in Transport and Logistics Awards are open.

The awards, now in their 14th year, are designed to showcase the contribution women make to transport and logistics and inspire more woman to join and progress their careers in the industry.

The awards recognise two winners per category: An industry ‘leader’ and an individual who goes ‘above and beyond’ for the business they work for.

Owing to the pandemic, 2021 will see a brand new ‘Tech Innovation Award’ recognising the role of technology in the sector.

Says Maxine Benson MBE, co-founder of Everywoman: “It’s been an extraordinary 12 months for transport and logistics, and one which has seen the industry have to adapt and innovate as never before. More than ever, it is important that we identify and celebrate the women whose passion, dedication, skills and leadership are making transport and logistics the dynamic and resilient industry that it is, and who have kept the country moving in the most unprecedented of times. We look forward to shining a spotlight on some of the most exceptional women whose achievements will motivate others to consider a career in the industry and shift the perception that it is a ‘job for the boys’.”

Adds Jonatan Gal, Amazon UK Operations Director: “Amazon is delighted to continue its support of the Everywoman in Transport and Logistics Awards celebrating the talented women in this industry.

“It is essential we continue to recognise and showcase the success of women in logistics to inspire existing and new female talent to develop fulfilling careers and help lead the industry forward.”

The 2021 awards categories are as follows:

  • (New for 2021) Tech Innovator Award: Awarded to a woman who is implementing or being exceptionally creative with technology in an unconventional and innovative way within the sector
  • The Freight Award: Sponsored by Unipart Rail, awarded to two women who are innovating and excelling in their role within freight
  • The Customer/Passenger Award: Awarded to two women who are excelling in their role for customers/passengers in transport, logistics and freight
  • The Infrastructure Award: awarded to two women who are innovating or excelling in their role within transportation and infrastructure
  • The Supply Chain Award: Awarded to two women who are innovating and excelling in their role within the supply chain environment
  • The Warehousing Award: Awarded to two women who are excelling in their role within a warehousing environment
  • Industry Champion Award: Awarded to a woman who is championing the progress of women working in transport and logistics
  • Male Agent of Change: Awarded to a man for his active commitment to advancing the progress of women working in transport and logistics

andy burnham tfgm £15.6 billion (1) The funding announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves today (4 June) has been allocated to several combined mayoral authorities to use on rail, tram, road and bus infrastructure. Transport for Greater Manchester revealed today that part of the £2.5 billion it will receive will go towards making the Bee Network fully battery-electric by 2030. An as-yet undecided portion of that will support a planned investment in 1,000 new zero-emission buses over that period, the mayoral authority said. That is part of plans to build the UK's "first fully integrated, zero-emission public transport system", with trams and trains also set to benefit. Liverpool City Region's already announced BRT system is among the projects to which its £1.6 billion will be allocated. Under those plans - due for realisation by 2028 - a high-speed network will be served by articulated buses which are modelled on the 'Glider' in Belfast. It is due to link Liverpool city centre with John Lennon Airport, and Liverpool FC and Everton FC's respective stadia along three routes. Although the model of bus has not been confirmed, a Van Hool Exqui.City on loan from Belfast was last year used as a demonstrator. That 18m vehicle can accommodate around 30% more passengers than a typical bus and has three sets of double doors. The funding will also go towards buses elsewhere in the city as the region heads towards franchising services by 2027. Liverpool Mayor Steve Rotheram with a 'Glider' which was on loan from Belfast last year - an example of the sort of bus which could serve the new BRT Bus services in the East Midlands region will be boosted by the funding, thanks to the £2 billion handed to it today by the government. Some of that allocation will be used for a rapid transit network on the Trent Arc between Nottingham and Derby. Between the two cities, the Freeport, Infinity Park Investment Zone and Ratcliffe-on-Soar will also benefit from the improved bus services. South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority's newly announced commitment towards bus franchising has been boosted by £350 million in funding as part of that region's allocation. The funding for West Yorkshire will help build new bus stations in Bradford and Wakefield. Likewise, the Tees Valley Mayoral Authority will put its sum towards a new £15 million bus station in Middlesbrough. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander says: "Today marks a watershed moment on our journey to improving transport across the North and Midlands – opening up access to jobs, growing the economy and driving up quality of life as we deliver our Plan for Change. "For too long, people in the North and Midlands have been locked out of the investment they deserve. With £15.6bn of government investment, we’re giving local leaders the means to drive cities, towns and communities forward, investing in Britain’s renewal so you and your family are better off."
