The landmark event will take place at a glittering ceremony at the Royal Armouries in Leeds on Tuesday 10 October 2023, celebrating organisations that have made significant strides in road safety.
As one of the largest road safety events in the UK, the UK Fleet Champions Awards 2023 recognises fleet operators that have demonstrated outstanding commitment to road safety, particularly in the areas of driver behaviour, vehicle safety, and fleet management.
Fleetmaster is sponsoring the Company Driver Safety Award for the 11th year in a row.
"For the last 22 years, Fleetmaster has successfully developed and delivered a wide range of driver risk management and training for a wide variety of customers. As a result, our work has contributed to a 30% reduction in our customers’ at-fault incident rates, 14.3% improvement in MPG and 9.8% in miles per kilowatts. Brake shares our vision of improving the safety of the roads for all users which is the reason why we have once again extended our sponsorship of Brake and the Company Driver Safety Award”, said Jamie Boocock, Director at Fleetmaster.

Arval UK, specialists in vehicle leasing and fleet management, is sponsoring the Road Safety in the Community Award.
“As part of our responsibility to all road users, we are proud to sponsor the Road Safety in the Community Award. We fund and manage more than 187,000 vehicles for our UK customers, who range from individuals through to some of the country’s largest employers. Not only is there a life that matters behind the wheels of each one of those vehicles, but also driving without due care and attention can have knock on effects to the lives of others in the community. That’s where we’d encourage companies to enter and inspire others by showcasing their best practice,” said Stuart Gibbons, Arval UK Director of Product and Marketing.
