Northgate has long been the bridesmaid at the Fleet News Awards, but finally it claimed the title of rental company of the year at the 2022 ceremony.

How does it know? It asks them.

A recent fleet survey revealed that safety was a major concern. Consequently, last month Northgate launched SafeDriver, a risk assessment and training programme, complemented by compliancy checks and insight dashboards, all bundled together into one handy package.
