BWG Foods, one of Ireland's leading retail and wholesale businesses, has claimed the prestigious Environment Award at the 2020 Fleet Transport Awards in the Citywest Hotel, Dublin recently.

Commenting on the award win, Joanne Mellon, Logistics Director BWG Foods said: “We in BWG are delighted to have received this award that acknowledges our commitment in BWG Foods to create an environmentally sustainable business that makes a positive contribution to the communities in which we operate.
