Freightliner, a subsidiary of Genesee & Wyoming Inc.

Freightliner has won the award in three of the four years since

“Winning this award is particularly special as the votes come
from our customers,” said Gary Long, CEO for G&W’s UK/Europe

redesign is to deliver a customer-centric business model across our
three core services of Rail, Road and Terminals. This focus on the
customer experience, together with substantial investments in
leading-edge technology, facilities and rolling stock, makes the
future even more promising for our customers. I am delighted they
have recognised our commitment to service excellence with this
award.”
Freightliner’s sister company, leading container logistics
provider Pentalver Transport, was shortlisted in the ‘Road Freight
Operator of the Year’ category, as well.
The 18 June award ceremony was held in Birmingham and attended
by more than 800 contenders, VIPs and colleagues. Freightliner
Commercial Managers Richard Smith and Richard Stapleton collected
the Rail Freight Operator of the Year award, which was presented by
Jamie Hartles, CEO of sponsors Howard Tenens; Robert Jervis,
Logistics Portfolio Director of Clarion Events; and host, ex
snooker champion, Steve Davis.
