We are thrilled to share the recent success of Old Stamfordian, Dan Zenchuk (OS 03). Dan is the Founder and Managing Director of Danzen Logistics, who achieved a significant milestone by winning the Business in the Community Award at the Peterborough Telegraph Business Excellence Awards 2023.
The awards ceremony, held on Wednesday 23 November, recognized Danzen Logistics for its outstanding contributions to the community, reflecting the company's dedication to social responsibility. This award speaks to the company's commitment to making a positive impact beyond the business realm. Alongside being the main sponsor for Whittlesey Athletic Football Club since July 2022, the company also sponsors various players of the Peterborough United Women's team as well as various youth football clubs.
One team to benefit greatly from Danzen's impact is Whittlesey Athletic Ladies. After folding in 2022, Dan brought the team back as part of his sponsorship and this season has seen them go unbeaten (at the time of writing), with striker Emma Pollard scoring an incredible 47 goals in nine appearances.
Dan, who is of Ukrainian heritage, has also been heavily involved in both fundraising for Ukraine and delivering supplies to those affected by the Russian invasion.
Speaking of the win, Dan said "We’re absolutely amazed to win this against two high-quality competitors. Well done to all. We’ve all done Peterborough proud."
Congratulations to Danzen Logistics on this well-deserved recognition. It is inspiring to see our alumni making significant contributions, and we look forward to witnessing more achievements from our Old Stamfordians. We wish Dan and Danzen Logistics continued success in their future endeavours.
