National
Business Awards
Blue Chip came a highly creditable second in their section of the
National Business Awards, missing out on the top spot by just one
mark in the final judging. Though frustrated to have come so tantalisingly
close to victory, Blue Chip's achievement was put into perspective
by the fact that the winning company for their category of Supply
Chain Strategy of the Year, has a logistical business spanning 2
continents with a £1bn turnover, government contracts and
34 depots. Blue Chip also fought off competition from the likes
of British Airports Authority which runs 7 airports with a turnover
of £2bn.
This inaugural award ceremony, sponsored by Orange and held at the
London Hilton on 29 October, was a glittering affair described by
Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown as "the Oscars of
the business world" in his opening video address.
The list of finalists further confirmed Blue Chip's achievement;
the roll call for each section reading like a 'Who's Who' of big
business with British Telecom, BP, Marks & Spencer, The AA,
IBM, HSBC, Dixons and many more household names included. Among
those honoured was Sir John Harvey-Jones, who was presented with
a Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of his distinguished
career.
