Reading, UK: The Cold Chain Federation has launched a new prestigious award for individuals working in the temperature-controlled storage or distribution industry that have excelled in the past three years, called the Cold Chain Medal.
The federation says that it does not matter what seniority that person has in the company, or what role they play.
“They could be a senior leader that has seen their company through to a significant success; a general manager that has delivered above and beyond; a sales manager that has made a transformational impact, or any person that has made a vital contribution to safety and standards.”
The rules for nomination are:
• One nomination by company in membership.
• The medal award is limited to companies in our storage and distribution (or full) membership category.
• Nominations must be made by a senior manager from within the company,
• Nominations will also be accepted from a senior leader in an Associate Member company, where they are nominating a person working in a Cold Chain Federation member storage and distribution company.
• All nominations are made by completing a form (no additional submission will be required or considered). See https://www.coldchainfederation.org.uk/news/inaugural-cold-chain-medal-call-for-nominations/
• The achievements for which the person is being recognised must have occurred or completed in the 3 years up to 1st May 2020.
• Nominees must be free for short interview, either in person or over video conference, by the adjudicating panel in either March or April 2020.
• Deadlines for nominations are 5pm – Friday 28th March 2020. Please email nominations to yvonne@coldchainfed.org.uk
• Three candidates will be shortlisted, and interviews will take place before the end of April. All three shortlisted nominees will be recognised at the Federation AGM and annual lunch on 21 May 2020 in central London. The winner will be announced on that day.
