Priority Freight wins ‘Third Party Logistics Company of the Year’ award

Published: Wednesday, 30 April 2025

Priority Freight, a leading provider of time-critical logistics solutions, has been honoured with the prestigious ‘Third Party Logistics Company of the Year’ accolade at the 2025 Automotive Leaders Awards, recognising the exceptional performance of its customs team in strengthening supply chain resilience and efficiency.

The award was presented during the ceremony held on April 29 by Peter Wooding, CEO of Three6Zero, the organisation behind the Global Automotive Leaders Awards.

In today’s rapidly evolving logistics landscape, customs compliance remains one of the industry’s most pressing challenges — particularly in the post-Brexit era. Priority Freight’s customs team has consistently delivered outstanding performance by navigating regulatory complexities and ensuring seamless, uninterrupted supply chains for its clients.

“This award is a perfect example of how our vision — to provide global time-critical delivery solutions no matter the geography, size, weight, distance, or mode of transport — was put into action during a particularly demanding period,” said Neal Williams, CEO of Priority Freight.

One such period occurred when severe flooding disrupted automotive production across Europe. Priority Freight’s team responded with urgency and precision, successfully transporting 13-tonne aluminium coils to multiple European locations. Despite operational constraints, a complete logistics and customs solution was orchestrated within 24 hours — ensuring critical production schedules were maintained.

“Maintaining constant communication and transparency with the client was vital,” Williams added. “Our team’s ability to navigate highly complex customs procedures and deliver rapid solutions under pressure truly exemplifies our commitment to operational excellence.”

This recognition highlights Priority Freight’s continued leadership in delivering innovative, responsive, and reliable logistics services — even under the most challenging conditions. The company’s extensive global network and deep customs expertise position it as a key player in supporting international trade and just-in-time manufacturing.

During the event, Neal Williams had the honour of presenting the prestigious OEM of the Year award to Jaguar Land Rover. The company was recognised for its pioneering advancements in electric vehicle innovation, its commitment to sustainability, and its leadership in transforming global supply chain operations.

“We extend our congratulations to all the winners from the Automotive Leaders Awards. It’s a remarkable achievement, and we are proud to be among the pioneers and disruptors shaping the future of the automotive industry,” he concluded.
