Pound Gates Vehicle Management Services has taken this year’s Risk Service Provider of the Year Award at the seventh annual StrategicRISK European Risk Management Awards, held last week at London’s Vinopolis venue in the UK.
 
The event, which is open to service providers across all industries in Europe, is judged by a 20-strong cross section of risk management experts who recognised Pound Gates for its “exceptional understanding of the risks associated with finished vehicle logistics and their competence in delivering client-focused solutions.”
 
In accepting the award, Matt Holmes, director of Pound Gates, said: “The very warm testimonials and endorsements provided by our clients in support of our nomination was a significant influencing factor for the judging panel.”
 
Pound Gates provides European and global trend analysis and data services aimed at reducing damage and associated cost to a wide range of manufacturers and leading logistics service providers including Ford, Jaguar Land Rover, VW Group, Hyundai and Kia.
 
Holmes continued: “Adding value to our clients’ businesses is critical to our success, so to have such great support from them means we have an award we can celebrate together.”
 
Kevin Collins, managing director of Pound Gates added: “We are delighted to be recognised as Europe’s leading risk service provider. I am very proud of our team.”
