“Organisations with staff who drive on work purposes have an important part to play in making our roads safer. The Fleet Champions Awards are a fantastic opportunity to recognise the effort that organisations are making to reduce incidents involving at-work drivers and vehicles,” Brake NZ Director Caroline Perry said.
“The awards are entered by a range of fleet operators and suppliers, and I’d urge any organisation that has put measures in place to reduce their road risk to consider entering the awards or nominating someone else within the industry.”
The Awards are part of Global Fleet Champions, an initiative by Brake, the road safety charity for fleet professionals, aimed at sharing best practice in road risk management. Anyone involved in managing at-work drivers, and suppliers to fleets, can join the free service to gain access to best practice information through events and online and downloadable tools for managers and drivers.
