Safety-conscious organisations from across the globe have made it through to the final stage of Brake’s Fleet Safety Awards 2016.

The road safety charity received a record number of first-time entries this year and now more than 60 organisations are in with a chance of winning one of 15 prestigious 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.

A full shortlist (details below) has now been released for each category, and winners will be announced at a gala dinner on Thursday 29 September 2016, at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole, Birmingham.

Tickets are on sale for just £150 per person and there are still some sponsorship opportunities available. 

Ellie Pearson, professional engagement manager at Brake, says: “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.”

Jason Chamberlain, sales and marketing director at ARI, says: “We are hugely proud to continue our partnership with Brake as sponsor of the 2016 Fleet Safety Awards. As a former Brake Award winner ourselves for our Riskmaster driver management product, we have the utmost respect for the level of dedication shown by Brake and all potential award entrants from the fleet industry, working tirelessly to help realise Brake’s vision of zero road deaths and serious injuries.”

Anne Johnson, Operations Director at FORS, says: “The management of work related road safety is at the heart of the FORS Standard, and as such we stand four-square with Brake. FORS members are working hard to reduce collisions in their own fleets and throughout their supply chains and we look forward to celebrating everybody’s great achievements at the awards.”
