GB Global Government & Defence, delivered through Seafast, is a finalist in the CILT Excellence Awards 2026 in the Adaptive Capacity – Strategic & Organisational Resilience category. This year it has also achieved recognition as a GB Global Finalist in the CILT Awards 2026. The shortlist recognises organisations that have demonstrated exceptional resilience, agility and long-term capability in the face of complex operational challenges.
This nomination highlights a logistics programme that has delivered uninterrupted service for more than 14 years. As a GB Global Finalist in the CILT Awards 2026, it has achieved this despite operating across complex, extended supply chains. In these environments, disruption is often inevitable. The team proactively manages challenges such as severe weather, capacity constraints and global transport volatility. Moreover, it identifies and mitigates risks before they affect service delivery.
Rather than viewing disruption as an occasional event, the programme embraces a philosophy of resilience by design. Through advanced planning, agile logistics networks, data-driven decision-making and continuous operational learning, the team adapts quickly to changing conditions. In addition, it maintains seamless continuity for customers and stakeholders. This is a core reason for being a GB Global Finalist in the CILT Awards 2026.
The Effectiveness of this approach
The results demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach. The programme maintains more than 99% continuity across critical supply flows. Furthermore, it has steadily improved planning reliability, delivery performance and operational predictability. The team also identifies and resolves more than 70% of disruption events before they escalate. This enables a more proactive, responsive and resilient operating model.
The recognition also highlights the strength of GB Global Government & Defence’s integrated approach. Specialist expertise, trusted partner networks and end-to-end operational control help maintain performance. This is critical in an environment where adaptability is essential. Moreover, being a GB Global Finalist in the CILT Awards 2026 underscores the importance of these strategic capabilities.
As supply chains face increasing uncertainty, resilient and adaptive operating models are becoming even more important. Meanwhile, this finalist recognition reflects the growing industry focus on organisational resilience as a strategic capability rather than simply a response to disruption.
The winners will be announced at the CILT Excellence Awards on 24 September 2026.
