Logistics UK has announced that comedian and co-host of The Last Leg Josh Widdicombe will be the host for the tenth annual edition of the organisation’s Logistics Awards, which take place on Thursday 10 December at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge, London.
Josh Widdicombe is one of the UK’s best-loved comedians, described by The Guardian as an “ace observationalist.” Starring in over 30 series of the multi award-winning Channel 4 show The Last Leg, Josh also served as team captain on Sky Max’s Rob Beckett’s Smart TV and co-hosted hit shows Hold The Front Page and Hypothetical. He has made multiple appearances on the nation’s favourite TV shows including QI, Live At The Apollo, A League of Their Own, Have I Got News For You and Taskmaster, as well as taking part in The Royal Variety Performance. A familiar voice in UK comedy and entertainment, Josh is firmly within the BBC Radio 2 family as a regular cover host, as well as presenting Pace Setter for BBC Sounds. Josh has recently been announced as one of the presenters of Strictly Come Dancing 2026.
“Josh is one of the UK’s funniest comedy talents,” says Ben Fletcher, Chief Executive at Logistics UK, “and a household name whose star is most definitely on the rise with his appointment to the Strictly family. We are thrilled to have secured such a prestigious name for this year’s Logistics Awards – attendees are set for a night filled with laughter in his company.”
Now in its tenth year, the Logistics Awards has firmly established itself as the must-attend annual event for the logistics sector, celebrating individuals and organisations that have made outstanding contributions to the industry in the past 12 months. With entries covering road, rail, sea and air including operators, manufacturers, logistics and supporting industries, the awards recognise the whole sector that keeps goods moving and the UK trading. The awards are free to enter, and the entry deadline is 5pm on Friday 3 July. Companies and individuals can enter the awards at: logistics.org.uk/logistics26
“The Logistics Awards 2026 provide a valuable chance for the industry to look back on the past year and recognise its successes and accomplishments,” continues Fletcher. “As the only awards created by the industry, for the industry, they bring together all transport modes and supporting sectors. With less than a month to go before entries close on 3 July, time is running short, so to have a chance of receiving a winner’s trophy from Josh himself, everyone’s encouraged to get their entries in as soon as possible.”
