Jamie Hartles Wins Chairman’s Award at UKWA Awards for Excellence

The UK Warehousing Association (UKWA) has proudly presented Jamie Hartles, our CEO, as the recipient of the UKWA Chairman’s Award. The UKWA Awards for Excellence, held annually, celebrate outstanding achievements within the logistics sector. It was a moment of immense pride for the Howard Tenens Logistics team to see Jamie recognised on stage.

The Chairman’s award is an award given to those who have demonstrated exceptional leadership and innovation in the industry. These are qualities that Jamie has consistently proven to embody over the years. “Jamie is a ‘people’ person, leading from the front, encouraging and supporting colleagues in being the best they can be; he is committed to employee engagement and well-being, and goes out of his way to ensure all his team members feel valued, and see opportunity for development and promotion.” – Michael Thomas, Client Services Director at Delamode International Logistics & Chairman of the UK Warehousing Association

Jamie’s attraction to Howard Tenens stemmed from the entrepreneurial spirit and positivity of Peter, Ben, and Dan Morris, coupled with the opportunity to learn from a diverse and eclectic customer base. Over the years, this initial admiration has grown stronger.

His journey with Howard Tenens began almost 18 years ago when he joined as a Commercial Assistant straight out of university. Starting in a junior position allowed him to gain comprehensive experience across various areas of the business, including commercial management, sales, marketing and operations.

Currently, Jamie oversees the logistics activities of the business. As a key member of the Group Board, Jamie contributes to the governance of the Howard Tenens Group of Companies, which encompasses diverse interests. Within the logistics domain, he collaborates with the Logistics Board to set the vision and strategic direction, ensuring operations are safe and aligned with the company’s values. Howard Tenens prides itself on being a quality-focused, independent family business that delivers mutual value through great people, collaboration, and technology.

“Life is full of surprises, but to be awarded the accolade of the Chairman’s Award at the amazing UK Warehousing Association awards was one of the biggest and most humbling I’ve ever experienced.

I’d like to thank all my colleagues at Howard Tenens Logistics for making this possible, as well as our amazing clients and suppliers who provide so much support to us as we continue to create a sustainable, quality focussed business, delivering mutual value to everyone who works for us and with us.” – Jamie Hartles

We couldn’t be more proud seeing our very own CEO taking home the Chairman’s award and we offer our congratulations to him.
