25th November 2015 JCS Livestock are proud to announce that last week we won the Specialist Freight Award, sponsored by ECU Line, at the Global Freight Awards. Apologies for not publishing this earlier, we’re still celebrating! We’re immensely proud to have been awarded this prestigious accolade at a gala ceremony held at the esteemed five-star Grosvenor House Hotel in Park Lane, London on Thursday last. In the Global Freight Awards’ own words: “The Specialist Freight Award aims to recognise and reward high performance, a drive for innovation, customer centricity and demonstrable expertise. Most importantly it rewards excellent results for both the customer and the provider. The winner of this category provides animal transport solutions for everything, from anteaters to zebras, and pampered pooches to prized pigs. Its services include collection, delivery, flights, customs clearance, and bespoke crates for all shapes and sizes of animals. Congratulations to JCS Livestock for its specialist work with conservation bodies and the public to transport pets, livestock and zoo animals around the world.” As you can see this award is very important in the fright forwarding industry- we’re so pleased to be recognised at this level this year and it means a lot to all of our hard working staff, past and present who have built the company’s reputation over the years.
