Commenting on the win judges said: “Logistics Matters used real insights and feedback to make informed decisions. Grade A research.”

Logistics Matters editor Simon Duddy added: “I am still surprised, but delighted and very proud to reflect on Friday’s PPA Independent Publisher Awards win for Logistics Matters. It was a great team effort. A big thank you to our directors Mark Sennett, Keith Gabriel, and Danny Kosifou for having faith in the relaunch and backing it with investment.”

Logistics Matters’ parent company Western Business Media (WBM) won three of the top awards at the PPA Independent Publisher Awards only days after completing a major acquisition.

WBM was named Independent Publishing Company of the Year and it also saw Fire Safety Matters win Business Publication of the Year. The news comes in the same week as WBM completed the acquisition of Professional Security Installer, Risk Xtra and Benchmark magazines.

These latest honours mean that WBM has won six major industry awards over the past two years.

WBM chief executive officer Mark Sennett said: “We were blown away and truly humbled to win three of the top awards at the PPA Independent Publisher Awards. It marked the end of the most satisfying week in our company’s history, winning these awards after completing a major acquisition felt even more special. The awards were actually the first time we were able to introduce our new staff to our existing team. So, it was a truly a day none of us will ever forget.

“These awards are a testament to the hard work of our staff and we are incredibly proud to have won these awards. I’d like to thank the PPA and the judges for this tremendous honour. I’d like to dedicate these wins to our staff, clients and readers as we couldn’t have done it without you.”
