Specialist aerospace logistics company B&H Worldwide has once again been named Best-in-Class Global Aerospace Logistics Company by the Global Institute of Logistics.

It is the second time the company has been awarded the status, following its first achievement in 2017.

Best-in-Class accreditation is only awarded to one company in each vertical market.

Recipients are re-evaluated against their peers at the end of the five-year cycle, and benchmarked to ensure they are maintaining or exceeding previous standards.

Kieron Ring, chief executive of the Global Institute of Logistics, said: “The competitive landscape in aerospace logistics has remained largely stable over the last five years with no new significant entrants to the market.

“Our focus and monitoring therefore covered the same group of companies and our primary observation was of B&H’s continuing commitment to deeper sectoral expertise.”

Ring added: “Of particular note was the expansion of the company’s Asian footprint and its absolute loyalty to the aviation and aerospace logistics sector during the COVID-19 pandemic when many others in the field chose to pivot away from the specialism to general freight.

“In a sector that was so highly impacted by the pandemic, B&H demonstrated sector leading resilience.”

Stuart Allen, chief executive of B&H Worldwide, said: “Five years on from first achieving this Best-in-Class status it is a tremendous testament to the dedication and expertise of our global team that we have once again been named Best-in Class for aerospace logistics.

“We are unique and we are dedicated to this highly specialist industry, so we are delighted to be awarded this title again.”

Ring concluded: “The company’s remarkable development story is a clear demonstration of its market-aware, customer first focus and proves that independent freight forwarders can not only survive but thrive in a global market.”
