Wellbeing and Diversity & Inclusion in Fleet is an award introduced for 2022 that recognises the companies which look after their car and van drivers in the best way possible.

The inaugural Fleet News Award was presented to National Grid fleet manager Lorna McAtear, who has developed a culture of diversity, inclusion and staff wellbeing both in her team and among her drivers, ensuring they link in with the wider business ethos.

The fleet team’s initiatives form part of National Grid’s own comprehensive Diversity, Equality and Inclusion Policy.

McAtear, who has been in the role for two years, says one of the keys to diversity is “respect for and appreciation of differences in ethnicity, gender,age, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, education, religion and more”.
