Freight forwarder Clarusto Logistics has been named Global Startup of the Year at the Scotland StartUp Awards.

The Glasgow-based company received the award at a ceremony in Edinburgh on Tuesday, 23 June, which celebrated entrepreneurs and young businesses demonstrating innovation, ambition and strong business progress. Judges praised Clarusto Logistics for building a client-focused logistics business with international ambition, recognising its early growth, operational capability and potential to scale.

Clarusto Logistics traces its roots back to Saudi Arabia, where the business was founded by Raju John in 1992. Its UK base was established in Glasgow in 2023 by Ramiah Raju John.

It recently opened a new hub in Wuhan, China.

As a regional winner, Clarusto Logistics will now represent Scotland at the UK StartUp Awards National Final, taking place at Ideas Fest in Tring, Hertfordshire, in September.

The UK StartUp Awards were founded by Professor Dylan Jones-Evans OBE as part of the Ideas Community and recognise outstanding new businesses that have identified opportunities, taken risks and developed innovative products and services.
