AA - sponsor's comment
James Starling, director, AA Business Services
“A huge congratulations to Steve, the latest inductee into the Fleet News Hall of Fame, from everyone at the AA. Steve has an incredible career history and track record of fleet management. His continued innovation and drive to increase fleet efficiency, transition to alternative fuels and improve road safety – to name just a few areas of his focus – is an inspiration to so many. During his career Steve has also spent time at the AA, latterly as Repair Improvement Manager, so we couldn’t be prouder to be continuing our sponsorship of the award – 2023 marks our 16th consecutive year as sponsors of the Hall of Fame!
“Our congratulations extend to all the winners and finalists at this year’s Fleet News Awards. It’s an honour to be part of such a dynamic industry.”
