The winner of the 2011 Queensland Supply Chain Management Award is Salad Fresh. The restructure of the business when Convenience Foods and Mrs Crocket’s Kitchen combined to form Salad Fresh also combined the logistics departments for both businesses into one. Major steps in this transformation included the creation of a Logistics Operations Centre (LOC) in Brisbane. This has effectively halved the cost of Customer service and logistics, it has significantly reduced errors, improved customer service, eliminated safety incidents. A High Commendation was awarded to Waste Contractors and Recyclers Association of Queensland (WCRAQ).

The winner of the 2011 Queensland Training, Education and Development Award is Women Take the Wheel – Department of Transport and Main Roads Alliance.
The Women Take the Wheel program encourages women to pursue a career in the predominately male transport, logistics and supply chain industry. The initiative has two aims: to retain and engage women already in the industry and to address the current shortage of skilled workers by attracting and training new industry entrants – directly enhancing the industry’s capability. The Women Take the Wheel initiative is the first program of its kind within the transport, logistics and supply chain industry in Australia.
