FINAL preparations are under way for the fleet industry's 'Oscars', which take place in less than two weeks' time.

More than 1,200 industry professionals will gather at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London's Park Lane for the event on March 17.

A total of 28 awards will be handed out on the night, including a range of car awards, van awards, service company awards, UK Fleet of the Year, Manufacturer of the Year and the prestigious Platinum Award. The audience will be entertained by Ed Byrne, who will be perfect entertainment for St Patrick's night. Alpha Connection, who have previously performed before the Queen and Prince Charles, will provide live music, from 50s swing to modern club dance.

A small number of tables are still available for the event. Call Sandra Evitt on 01733 468123 for details or book online via the link to the left of this article.
