FIATA has announced the Regional winners of its Young International Freight Forwarder of the Year Award. Sponsored by the TT Club, the annual award seeks to identify, recognise and encourage young talent throughout the freight forwarding community around the world. The four regional finalists, selected this year from among 16 entries representing national forwarding associations are:

• Region Africa/Middle East: Daniella Smal, Zambia

• Region Americas: Kaya Karakaya, Canada

• Region Asia/Pacific: Madi Kassebekov, Kazakhstan

• Region Europe: Jennifer Taylor, England

The regional finalists will be invited to FIATA’s World Conference in Taipei (8- 13 September 2015) in order to present their dissertations to the judging panel and for the eventual announcement of the International Award winner at the Opening Ceremony. The prize to be awarded to the winner principally consists of practical and academic training, including a week based at one of TT Club’s regional centres in London, Hong Kong or New Jersey plus a week in TT Club’s Head Office in London.
