PD Ports scoops national award
Middlesbrough-based PD Ports has beaten off tough competition to win the prestigious Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport award in the category of Transport, Policy and Planning.
PD Ports was thrilled to accept the award, presented for the detailed planning process behind the company's proposal to build a deep-sea container terminal at Teesport in North East England, known as The Northern Gateway. The Institute congratulated PD Ports on the comprehensive plan and their professional approach to stakeholder engagement, which has generated wide community support.
 David Robinson, Chief Executive Officer of PD Ports, said: "This is a tremendous achievement, not only for the team at PD Ports but also for all those who have been involved in and pledged their support for the project so far. This achievement further cements our drive and vision to develop a Northern port to serve Northern markets."
The event took place on 11 October, at the London Marriott Hotel in Grosvenor Square and was attended by over 400 industry professionals. The Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport's annual awards honour excellence and recognise professional achievement within the industry.
