Companies have been honoured for working hard to reduce road crashes involving at-work drivers at Brake's Fleet Safety Awards 2014, with Ocado, Travis Perkins and Mix Telematics all picking up two awards each.

Individual awards went to Ocado’s fleet training and development manager Neil Shaw (‘Road Risk Manager of the Year’) and Travis Perkins’ group transport risk manager Rachel Downs (‘Best Newcomer to Road Risk Management’).

The prestigious Kevin Storey Award for ‘Outstanding Commitment to Road Safety’ went to AlcoSense founder and CEO Hunter Abbott, a long-time Brake supporter who has been instrumental in raising awareness of the deadly risk of drink driving.

(See below for the full list of winners.)

The winners were announced at a gala dinner, sponsored by Arval, held on June 5 at St John's Hotel in Solihull, Birmingham, with a record attendance of nearly 300 guests.

Altogether, 112 awards entries were received from more than 40 organisations this year.

Generous donations, including silent auction bids and raffle ticket sales, raised more than £8,000 for Brake.

During the day more than 100 delegates attended Brake's Fleet Safety Conference, sponsored by Aviva, which featured speakers on a range of road safety topics.

Manager guidance reports on these topics will be published by Brake over the coming months, and made available for free to conference delegates and Brake subscribers.
