International award marks PWC Logistics as leader in the
GGC
The Awards Committee at the Global Institute of Logistics (GIL)
has designated PWC Logistics as the recipient of its 'Best 3PL in
GCC Region 2004-5' accreditation.
The award comes on the heels of a detailed research and selection
process into leading providers of supply chain and third party logistics
(3PL) services in the region.
Presenting the award at a ceremony held in Dubai, Siobhan Kelly,
Lead Analyst of GIL said: “In PWC Logistics, we have found
all of the key ingredients needed to succeed as a global 3PL. The
company’s massive transactional experience, gained since its
inception in 1979, together with intelligent investment in supply
chain execution software have seen PWC Logistics gain the necessary
experience needed to step out of its own backyard." The event
was attended by several of PWC's clients and representatives from
the Dubai Ports Authority.
"In pursuit of regional scalability, PWC Logistics has made
excellent acquisitions, created key partnership agreements, and
above all, added to what was already an enviable client list in
double quick time - clearly making it the market leader in the region,"
she stated.
The comprehensive study conducted by the research department of
GIL, spread over the last year, draws on a quality-ranking system
based on responses provided by concerned parties within the global
logistics end-users sector.
The purpose of the study was to set forth criteria and procedures
for governing material flow in the sector, to highlight the unity
of different functions in supply chain, and to establish which organisations
played an ability to react most quickly to the changing face of
logistics and make the most significant contribution to lean manufacture.
It also investigated the role played by logistics providers in
developing outbound solutions for manufacturing, the components
of their supply chain that ensure the smooth flow of goods, and
value-added services and customer requirements. The outcome of the
study saw PWC Logistics emerge as the unequivocal choice of the
Awards Committee for the title of leader in the logistics sector
in the GCC region.
In response to the announcement, PWC Logistics' UAE General Manager,
Mike Lee, said “This is indeed a great commendation for PWC
Logistics, and demonstrates that we have achieved significant success
in the region. In a short span of five years, not only have we succeeded
in educating customers about the benefits of outsourcing their logistics
operations to a 3PL company, but have also managed to help them
improve the quality of their supply chain, thereby saving them valuable
time and money.
"This accreditation recognises PWC Logistics' outstanding
contribution to logistics, and in particular, its commitment to
the development of comprehensive and professional supply chain solutions.
We have adopted a progressive strategy to accommodate the high demand
driven nature of the local economy, for which warehouse space and
inventory management is necessary and PWC Logistics has proven itself
to be at the forefront in the advancement of the sector," Lee
added.
