UKIFDA announces final shortlist for EXPO 2024 Awards

The UKIFDA Awards are highly regarded in the fuel distribution industry. The winners and runners-up of these prestigious awards will be announced at the EXPO 2024 Awards Dinner, sponsored by Mabanaft, on the evening of April 10 at the Exhibition Centre Liverpool.

The shortlists consist of exceptional individuals and companies that have demonstrated remarkable performance over the past year.

Close contest

The shortlist for the UKIFDA Green Award 2024, sponsored by Oilshield, has been revealed, signalling the hunt for the liquid fuel distribution industry’s ‘green leader’ is almost over.

This year’s Green Award will be a tight-run contest between finalists Certa and Eliminox.

UKIFDA CEO Ken Cronin said: “These two entries stood out from the rest. We’ve reviewed applications from businesses of all sizes, learning about everything from innovative carbon emission-reducing technologies as well as alternative fuels and additives, to companies implementing strategies to minimise harm to the environment. It’s been an interesting process.

Best of luck to the two finalists from all of us at UKIFDA!”
