PRESS RELEASE June 2008

iForce scores four UKWA Award nominations

With FOUR nominations in the 2008 United Kingdom Warehousing Awards, iForce will await the envelope opening at this year's ceremony with even more excitement than 2007 when the company had two finalists, including the winning UKWA Team of the Year.

Continuing to go from strength to strength, iForce has received FOUR nominations for the 2008 United Kingdom Warehousing Association Awards. The winners will be announced during the prestigious ceremony hosted at the UKWA's Annual Luncheon, held this year at the Dorchester Hotel in London on Wednesday 2nd July. iForce's four nominations are:

· Donna Draper, who has been short-listed for the Training Award;

· ReSCU, the company's in-house developed returns processing IT system, which has been nominated for the Technology/Innovation Award;

· John Tombs and Jonathan Smith, who are both finalists in the Warehouse Person of the Year category.

The UKWA Awards is one of the logistics industry's most prestigious events and one at which iForce has already tasted success when, last year, the company won the Team of the Year Award for its John Lewis Direct fulfilment team and also had a second team – the Saltley Returns Process team - finish as a finalist.

Mark Hewitt, CEO at iForce comments: "I believe our achievements at the UKWA Awards reflect the success we are gaining for our growing client base. Innovation and a commitment to quality and efficiency are key requirements in fulfilment and returns processing; the UKWA's recognition of iForce's achievements in training, technology & innovation and warehouse management is testimony to how these qualities are spread throughout our operations."
