One of the UK’s biggest business groups, Logistics UK, has named GB Railfreight Ltd the Rail Business of the Year at its annual Logistics Awards, held at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge on Thursday 8 December 2022.

Over the last 12 months, against a challenging operating environment, GB Railfreight has opened a new headquarters, invested in a new greener fleet and publicly made the case for rail freight, advocating to both the media and government how rail freight can be a key driver of the UK economy and provide a more sustainable solution as the UK moves towards net zero.

David Wells, Logistics UK’s Chief Executive commented: “GB Railfreight is one of the fastest growing rail companies in the UK and has continued to demonstrate the value of rail freight through its supply chain and logistics operations over the last year, greening its fleet and providing measurable benefits for its customers. I would like to congratulate GB Railfreight for its win; it truly is ‘the best of the best’ in the rail sector.”
