Uniserve and Dayes Group have been named winners of the Supply Chain Transformation category at the prestigious Supply Chain Excellence Awards 2026, recognising a long-term partnership that has delivered exceptional operational, commercial and strategic value.
The award celebrates the successful transformation of Dayes Group’s global supply chain through a collaborative approach focused on innovation, efficiency, resilience and sustainable growth. What began as a freight forwarding relationship has evolved into a fully integrated supply chain partnership, supporting the company’s continued expansion across the UK and international markets.
Through close collaboration, Uniserve and Dayes Group have reimagined how products move from manufacturers to customers, creating a smarter, more connected and highly scalable supply chain. The transformation has been underpinned by digital innovation, enhanced visibility, improved supplier management and the successful transition of operations into the Felixstowe Mega Distribution Centre (FMDC).
The partnership has delivered significant business benefits, including reduced freight costs, improved operational control, enhanced supply chain visibility and greater resilience. By leveraging technology and data-driven decision making, the organisations have created a supply chain platform capable of supporting future growth while improving efficiency and service performance.
Importantly, the transformation has not been achieved through a single initiative, but through a sustained commitment to continuous improvement. From optimising inbound logistics and inventory management to enhancing supplier collaboration and reducing reliance on expedited transport, every stage of the supply chain has been reviewed and refined to unlock greater value.
Commenting on the award, Paul Woolass, Managing Director Uniserve said:
“This recognition reflects the strength of our partnership with Dayes Group and the commitment of both organisations to challenging traditional supply chain models. Together, we have created a more agile, efficient and future-ready operation that delivers measurable results and supports long-term business growth.
Awards like this are ultimately about great people delivering great results together, and I’m incredibly proud of what the team has achieved. Well done to everyone at Uniserve and Dayes Group. A brilliant achievement.”
The award is a testament to the dedication, expertise and innovation demonstrated by teams across both organisations. By combining strategic thinking with operational excellence, Uniserve and Dayes Group have established a supply chain that not only meets today’s demands but is designed to adapt to the opportunities and challenges of tomorrow.
As supply chains continue to evolve, the partnership remains focused on identifying new opportunities to drive efficiency, enhance customer service and deliver sustainable growth.
Winning the Supply Chain Transformation Award recognises not only what has been achieved to date, but also the ongoing commitment from both organisations to push the boundaries of supply chain excellence.
