Volkswagen Fleet Services has recognised the achievements of its top-performing retailers and staff at a special Fleet Awards event held at Whittlebury Hall & Spa in Northamptonshire.

The six winners in four categories emerged victorious after participating in the company's ‘Fleet Focus' programme. This was originally launched in 2005 as Fundamentally Fleet, with the aim of educating, motivating and recognising excellence within the retailer network.

Throughout 2009 participating candidates have undertaken a series of activities designed to measure their capabilities, with emphasis on customer service.
