AN award for women working in the “man’s world” of transport has been won by Huddersfield’s Vicki Davenport.

Vicki, who is sales and commercial director at Netherton-based haulage firm The Pink Link, won the director of the year category in the MAN Everywoman in Transport and Logistics Awards.

She fought off competition from two other finalists in the contest, sponsored by vehicle manufacturer MAN Truck and Bus Ltd.

The awards highlight the contribution many women make to the transport and logistics industry, an area which is traditionally dominated by men.
