With entries for the judged categories now closed, attention turns to industry voting as the Multimodal Awards 2026 move into their next phase.

Taking place as part of Multimodal 2026, the awards continue to recognise excellence across the logistics and supply chain sector, combining independent judging with one of the industry’s largest peer-led voting processes.

Industry Voting Now Open

The Six Modal Awards, covering air, road, rail, sea, port and freight forwarding services, are nominated and voted for by thousands of readers of the Multimodal Newsletter, as well as exhibitors and visitors to the show.

With finalists now confirmed, voting is open and will run until 29 May 2026, allowing the industry to recognise the companies delivering the strongest performance in each mode.

A True Industry Benchmark

What sets the Multimodal Awards apart is the balance between independent judging and industry-wide voting, so recognition reflects both measurable achievement and peer respect.

As Robert Jervis, Event Director of Multimodal, explains:

“The Multimodal Awards aim to showcase excellence in our industry, recognising both organisations making the most significant impact today and the people and technologies shaping the future of logistics.”

Looking Ahead

Winners will be announced at the Multimodal Awards Evening on 30 June, hosted by Rory Bremner at the VOX in Birmingham, marking a key moment on the logistics industry calendar.
