With just over four weeks to go until the awards spectacular (Friday 20 March), it gives the HeavyTorque team great pleasure to be able to announce the Shortlist for this year’s specialist transport awards, The Heavies 2020.

The Heavies recognises and rewards industry excellence, innovation, outstanding service, efficiency and quality across the entire spectrum of the heavy and abnormal load sector. To win or to be shortlisted shows that you have achieved the very highest standard, as judged by an independent panel of industry experts. The Judges commented (once again) that it was an extremely difficult task – as without exception – every entry was a very worthy winner!
