SUPPLIERS to fleets can help raise awareness of best practice by helping their customers enter the Fleet News Awards.

The initiative is part of the national hunt for the UK’s best fleet decision-makers as part of the annual industry ‘Oscars’, the Fleet News Awards.

Fleets can be entered for any of six categories, covering UK Fleet of the Year, European Fleet of the Year, three fleet manager awards, covering sub-100, 101-400 and 401-plus fleets, and there is also a Risk Management Award.

Supplier companies can either help their clients to fill out the form by clicking on the awards logo on the lefthand side of the FNN homepage or email us at fleetnews@emap.com and ask us to contact the fleet executive directly.

The move is designed to spread the search for Britain’s best fleet managers and companies even further to ensure that best practice in all areas is truly rewarded.

Fleet managers will be invited for interviews early next year, with a final shortlist invited to the annual industry awards, at a gala dinner in the Grosvenor House Hotel, London, on March 16, 2005. Entering the awards is easy.

The deadline for entries this year is December 10.

Those wishing to buy tickets for the Fleet News Awards can contact Sandra Evitt on 01733 468123, or email luke.clements@emap.com. Prices for individual seats are £185 + VAT, while a table of 10 costs £1,700 + VAT.
