Dubai: Denmark Post was awarded the Innovation award by Emirates Post at the World Mail Awards 2008 held in Budapest, Hungary.

Taking part in the event were 300 senior postal industry executives.

Ibrahim Bin Karam, CEO of Emirates Post, presented the award to Post Denmark for its “No More'' solution that allows packing and distribution of unaddressed mail based on individual mail recipient, rather than mass distribution based on bulk recipients.

“Emirates Post has been sponsoring the Innovation category at the World Mail Awards as it believes innovation is a key driver of any business,'' said Bin Karam.

“It was indeed a privilege for Emirates Post to stand among major global postal operators and sponsor one of the most coveted categories of the World Mail Awards, the mail industry's premier global honours.''

This is the third year Emirates Post has sponsored the Innovation category. The twelve winners competed against a broad geographical diversity of applicants and a wide variety of products and services submitted by operators and suppliers of the mail industry.

The Awards were part of the World Mail and Express Europe Conference which took place on May 20 and 21, offering delegates a prime opportunity to network and celebrate best practices in the industry.

With over 100 entries received this year, judges had a tough job on their hands. The independent panel of judges met in Budapest hours before the ceremony to determine the 2008 winners with Hungarian celebrity and television presenter Zsuzsanna Demcsk, presenting the awards in the different categories.

The other winners were Royal Mail (Corporate Social Responsibility), Canada Post (Customer Service), Post Denmark (e-Commerce), Australia Post (Growth), Ulrich Gygi, CEO of Swiss Post (Industry Leadership), Correos (People Management), Post Denmark (Quality), PayShop Portugal (Retail Project), Magyar Posta (Security), 21 Grams (Technology) and New Zealand Post (Transformation).
