Fleet operators and service firms have been named in a list of 60-plus organisations that are through to the final stage of Brake’s Fleet Safety Awards 2016.

Brake has announced the shortlist for its 2016 Fleet Safety Awards

The annual event, sponsored by ARI and supported by FORS, recognises the achievements of fleet operators and suppliers who are working hard to reduce road crashes involving at-work drivers.

This year’s finalists include household names such as Nestlé, Royal Mail, and Sainsbury’s, as well as smaller companies including Cogent Breeding, O’Donovan Waste Disposal and South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust.

Winners of the 15 awards will be announced at a gala dinner at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole on Thursday 29 September 2016.

Ellie Pearson, professional engagement manager at Brake, said: “We’ve been incredibly impressed with this year’s entries and it’s great that many companies have entered our awards for the first time. It is fantastic that so many organisations of different sizes are making a real effort to end the needless crashes on our roads as a result of at-work drivers. Our judges now have the difficult task of choosing the winners and we wish all our finalists the best of luck and look forward to seeing them all at our awards dinner.”
