VTA calls for Australian Freight Industry Awards nominations

The VTA is calling for more nominations ahead of the 32nd Australian Freight Industry Awards gala dinner

After a two-year hiatus, the Victorian Transport Association (VTA) has called for nominations as it gets set to host the 32nd Australian Freight Industry Awards gala presentation dinner.

The VTA is calling for nominations for these prestigious industry awards from the national freight, logistics and transport industry.

“With last year’s awards cancelled due to lockdown conditions in Victoria, this year’s presentation marks a long overdue return to an in-person celebration of our great industry,” VTA CEO Peter Anderson says.

“We’re looking forward to welcoming hundreds of our members, supporters, operators, suppliers and other transport stakeholders to the Palladium at Crown on September 3 to recognise our award winners.” 

The VTA has already received many outstanding nominations for the awards, and with just under three weeks until nominations close, the association is encouraging those individuals and operations considering an entry to finalise their applications as soon as possible.
