The fleet industry put on a show of strength at the Fleet News Awards last night, as more than 900 guests gathered for one of the biggest nights of the fleet calendar.
Every year, Fleet News rewards the best fleets, suppliers and manufacturers in the country for their hard work, great products and commitment to best practice initiatives that provide efficient, safe and environmentally-friendly transport solutions to drivers.
While the focus of the evening was the presentation of the Fleet News Awards, it also provided the opportunity to network, helping businesses to strengthen relationships and share ideas.
