Meanwhile, the Logistics & Transport Team of the Year recognition brought the human dimension of Dublin Express's success into sharp focus.

The panel added: "Dublin Express showcased how a highly aligned team can drive exceptional customer service while successfully delivering a wide and complex programme of projects. Innovation, leadership, and inclusive change management were woven throughout, ensuring staff at every level were brought along on the journey.
