Fleet News has revealed the finalists for fleet's most prestigious and sought-after awards.

Following five days of intense deliberation and discussion, the five judging panels (cars, vans, trucks, suppliers, fleets) reached their conclusions under the vigilant scrutiny of awards chairman Christopher Macgowan and assessor Brian Cooper, director - people advisory services, EY (supplier and vehicle categories only).

The judges sifted through a wealth of outstanding entries; however, not everyone has made it through to the shortlist.

Feedback will be made available to those companies requesting it after the winners and highly commended are announced at the black-tie awards dinner on March 13 at Grosvenor House Hotel in London.

Stephen Briers, group editor of Fleet News, said: “Congratulations to all the people and companies that have made it through the various stages of the awards process onto the shortlist. It is worthy recognition of your excellent work over the past 12 months.”

More than 1100 guests have already secured their seats, so don't delay, book your place now and enjoy a wonderful evening full of entertainment and celebration.
