Palmer and Harvey McLane, which employs 4,000 people covering 25 million miles a year to make nearly two million deliveries, has halved its accident rate in recent years.
The judges said they were impressed by the 'strenuous efforts that the wholesale and distribution company makes to ensure the safety of its fleet of 900 trucks and 450 cars'.
