The Port of Tilbury, London’s major port, received highly commended at the 2015 Containerisation International Awards (CIA) in the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) category at the Jumeriah Carlton Tower Hotel in London on Thursday 18 June, the company said in its press release.
 
Tilbury won against strong competition from global shipping lines CMA CGM Group, Maersk Line and MOL; and ports including DP World UAE Region and Halifax Port Authority.
 
The CIA judges summary of the Port's award submission: 'The Port of Tilbury has expansion plans and recognises the need to bring its workforce to the centre of these plans. Training is at the heart of this, creating a dedicated training academy, re-enforcing the high levels of staff retention, staff progression, and new opportunities for new employees drawn from the local population.'
