Fleet News today announces the finalists for this year’s Fleet News Awards.
The winners, along with those companies and individuals receiving a highly commended accolade, will be revealed at the prestigious awards dinner on March 18 at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel.
Fleet News editor Stephen Briers said: “Congratulations to all the people and companies who have made it through the intense stages of the awards process to reach the shortlist. This achievement is worthy recognition of the excellent work delivered over the past 12 months.
“The standard of entries was exceptionally high across all categories. Fleets and suppliers alike demonstrated outstanding innovation and performance, while an ever-expanding range of car models made the judges’ task more challenging than ever.”
Judging took place over four days, with the manufacturer and supplier categories overseen by awards chair Alison Moriarty and assessor Nigel Morris, director of employment tax at Ernst & Young.
