Being held for the 33rd consecutive year, the 2016 event takes place on Wednesday 16 November at the St John’s Hotel, Warwick Road, Solihull, Birmingham.

Both members and non-members are able to initially nominate the very best in their opinion across seven categories:  

• Fleet Service Company of the Year
• Environmental Initiative of the Year
• Fleet Safety Initiative of the Year
• Green Vehicle of the Year
• Small Van of the Year
• Large Van of the Year
• Fleet Car of the Year

Nominations can be made online at http://www.acfo.org/awards/nominate by 9 September. Once the nominations list has been compiled, ACFO members only will then be asked to vote for their winner in each of the categories.

The charity partner at this year’s Awards evening is the 401 Challenge. It sees runner Ben Smith attempting to run a world record 401 marathons in 401 consecutive days around 309 locations in the UK.

The evening’s guest speaker will be “stand-up historian” Bill Callaghan, a Yeoman Warder at the Tower of London.

ACFO chairman John Pryor said: “The popularity of the ACFO Awards continues to increase among members, motor manufacturers and fleet suppliers.

“Money raised through sponsorship and ticket sales is vitally important to ACFO as it help funds the work of the organisation through the year, including our popular seminar programme.

“Since launching the Awards in their current format, we have seen attendance increase year-on-year and we anticipate another sell-out and an exciting night as we name the top suppliers, best initiatives and best company vehicles in the view of ACFO members in 2016.”
