Kwik Fit has been named fleet supplier of the year in the second annual Northern Ireland Fleet Industry Awards.

Kwik Fit was also highly commended in the Most Innovative Company Award category.

The company’s account management and reporting expertise; the professionalism of its staff in delivering customer service excellence; and centres’ extended opening hours in comparison with competitors were all praised by the judges of the awards, which were hosted by Northern Ireland’s Business Eye magazine.

Kwik Fit dominates the Northern Ireland fleet vehicle leasing sector and delivers its exhaustive range of tyre and mechanical-related services through a combination of centres and dedicated mobile units.

This year’s success follows Kwik Fit winning the Customer Service Award at the inaugural Business Eye magazine awards 12 months ago.

This year the Northern Ireland Fleet Awards, which were judged by an independent panel drawn from the business and motor trade community in Northern Ireland, were held as part of a major two-day Motor Show in Belfast.

Aidan Neeson, Kwik Fit’s fleet business development and operations manager in Northern Ireland, said: “The Northern Ireland fleet market is hugely competitive so to be named Supplier of the Year, which was the top award, is very gratifying and something that all employees can share in.

“Kwik Fit has worked hard to further improve its customer service and to have that and the professionalism of staff singled out by the judges means that the steps we are taking are being recognised.”

Neeson added: “We have aspirations to further expand our fleet business in Northern Ireland and winning awards such as this will help to extend our customer base.  Delivering high quality customer service is critical to all organisations and I am confident that being named Supplier of the Year among fleet providers in the province will further drive our ambitions.”
