The winners of the FTA everywoman in Transport & Logistics Awards for 2014 have been announced at a ceremony at The Savoy Hotel in London.

These prestigious awards acknowledge the work of women in the industry, and showcase how others can make a career in transport a successful and fulfilling one.
