Celebrating Excellence: 2025 Living the Values Awards at Ace Express Freight
Honoring the Colleagues Who Embody Our People & Business Values
At Ace Express Freight, our values are the compass guiding our daily operations and long-term vision. Each year, we take a moment to recognise and celebrate the individuals who exemplify these principles through our Living the Values (LTV) Awards. The 2025 edition of the LTV Awards was a powerful showcase of dedication, innovation, and integrity.
A Revitalised Approach to Recognition
This year, we introduced enhancements to the LTV Awards to make the process more engaging and inclusive. Colleagues voted on two to three values each month from January to April, allowing for thoughtful nominations and sustained excitement.
The culmination was our annual May gala, held at a vibrant new venue. Thanks to the LTV Committee’s efforts, the evening was a memorable celebration of teamwork, unity, and excellence.

Whether navigating complex financial strategy or mentoring colleagues, Michelle consistently raises the bar. Her dual recognition this year is a testament to the profound impact she has on both our operations and our culture.
Fostering a Culture of Recognition and Growth
The LTV Awards are more than an event — they reflect our ongoing commitment to recognising and nurturing talent at Ace Express Freight. In 2025 alone, over 130 training sessions were delivered, and our apprenticeship programme continues to grow, reflecting our investment in the logistics leaders of tomorrow.
Looking Ahead
As we honour our 2025 award winners, we also look to the future. The refreshed LTV process has set a new benchmark for recognition, and we remain committed to fostering a workplace where values are not only upheld but celebrated.
