Vauxhall has been named Fleet Manufacturer of the Year at Northern Ireland’s UTV Business Eye Awards 2012.

The manufacturer was praised for consistently offering the best range of fleet vehicles to the business sector based upon Benefit-in-Kind taxation, CO2 emissions, MPG figures, whole life costs and desirability.

“We are absolutely delighted to be named Fleet Manufacturer of the Year at the UTV Business Eye Awards,” said James Taylor, Vauxhall’s fleet sales director. “Vauxhall understands the product requirements of its fleet customers and will continue in its commitment to delivering them to market.”

The judging panel included UTV's Business Correspondent Jamie Delargy, Business Eye Editor Richard Buckley as well as the Business Editors of Northern Ireland's two main morning newspapers, Gary McDonald (Irish News) and Adrienne McGill (News Letter).
