Howard Tenens Logistics Named Finalist for UKWA Customer Service Award

We are thrilled to announce that we have been named a finalist for the UKWA Award for Excellence in Customer Service. We are proud to be recognised for delivering outstanding customer service with Beavertown Brewery and creating mutual value, even in a year marked by significant challenges.

Delivering Mutual Value in Challenging Times

Our partnership with Beavertown Brewery represents our dedication to customer service. In an environment of inflations and fluctuating volumes, we have maintained our focus on understanding and exceeding our customers’ expectations. Regular communication and collaboration with Beavertown Brewery have allowed us to adapt and innovate, ensuring seamless operations and compliance with regulatory changes.

Excellence in Customer Care

Our onsite team members have been instrumental in driving success. One member in particular, Clancy Soares, has been crucial to our success via her meticulous management of the transition from Duty Paid to Bonded storage for Beavertown. Her efforts not only ensured a smooth transition but also earned her our internal ‘Make a Difference’ annual award.

This holistic approach strengthens our partnerships and fosters a sense of community and mutual respect.
