Young international freight forwarder of the year


On 10 December 2020, the International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations (Fiata) and TT Club announced the 2020 winner of the young international freight forwarder of the year award (YIFFYA). This year’s laureate is Umair Aamir Sheikh (Piffa) (photo).

 

He joined the freight forwarding industry in 2016. In his dissertation he explored the effects of digitalisation in the freight forwarding industry and concluded that freight forwarders continued to play an essential role despite the technology currently available.

 

 

YIFFYA recognised Fiata and TT Club as a sponsoring partner of the award. YIFFYA selects four regional winners who are invited to attend the annual Fiata world congress. The global winner is usually announced during the congress and receives, as part of the prize, one week’s practical experience of multimodal transport infrastructure, a one-week academic training in the TT Club’s head office in London, and a year-long subscription of the International Transport Journal.
