Ian Thorn of CEF has won the inaugural ‘Fleet Manager of the Week’ award from fleet technology company Lightfoot.
The new initiative rewards fleet managers for ensuring their drivers behave safely behind the wheel.
Thorn has been a strong advocate of the Lightfoot driver monitoring technology since its installation into CEF’s vehicles, ensuring that it has been fully adopted as part of the business’s culture.
According to Lightfoot, a good fleet manager can be the difference between a safe, efficient fleet of drivers with a high vehicle “up-time” rate, and a law-suit waiting to happen. The company plans to work more closely with managers to ensure they understand the device and how to get the best out of it on the road.
Commenting on the win, Lightfoot’s managing director Mark Roberts said: “We are pleased to be awarding CEF Fleet Manager Ian Thorn with an Amazon Firestick. He has actively championed Lightfoot from the beginning, resulting in his fleet continuously hitting their targets. Ian has even decided to donate his award to Robert Sheppard, a fleet manager from Torquay Group, one of CEF’s depots based in Devon. This further demonstrates Ian’s generosity and commitment to maintaining CEF’s high standards.”
Thorn commented: “Lightfoot is an innovative technology that continuously provides amazing benefits to CEF since its implementation. I am thrilled to have been awarded the first-ever ‘Fleet Manager of the Week Award’ and anticipate the progress this exciting initiative is going to make. I look forward to a continued partnership with Lightfoot to help further encourage and reward good driving in our fleet.”
