GB Global‘s Government & Defence Division has been recognised with a Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport (CILT) Excellence Award for Adaptive Capacity – Strategic & Organisational Resilience, recognising a logistics operation delivered by group company, Seafast Logistics Limited.
The award highlights the importance of building supply chains that adapt to change rather than simply react to it.
GB Global’s submission focused on a logistics operation that has provided uninterrupted service for more than 15 years. The operation supports long, constrained and disruption-prone supply chains.
The team built its operating model around adaptive capacity rather than pure efficiency. It combines forward planning, flexible logistics architecture, data-driven decision-making and continuous learning. This approach helps maintain service continuity during periods of sustained volatility.
Building resilience through adaptability
The programme showed how organisations can strengthen resilience through integrated teams, end-to-end control and trusted partnerships. It also demonstrated the value of rapidly reconfiguring operations when conditions change.
This approach has maintained more than 99% continuity across critical supply flows. It has also improved planning reliability, delivery performance and operational predictability.
The award reflects an increasingly important principle for modern supply chains. Resilience is not only about responding effectively to disruption. It also requires organisations to build flexibility and adaptability into operations before, during and after challenges arise.
Supply chains continue to face uncertainty, geopolitical pressures and operational disruption. As a result, adaptive capacity has become one of the most valuable capabilities an organisation can
