Road safety charity Brake has revealed the finalists in its annual Fleet Safety Awards.

According to Brake, the charity received a record number of first-time entries with more than 70 companies putting their nominations forward.

The event recognises the achievements of fleet operators and suppliers that have reduced road accidents involving at-work drivers.

Winners will be announced at a gala dinner on 28 September at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole.

“The standard was exceptionally high this year and we’re looking forward to working with our external judges to select some well deserving winners,” said Katie Shephard, development director at Brake. “I’d encourage companies across the industry to attend our awards ceremony in September and help us celebrate best practice.”
