The shortlist has been announced for the 2018 BusinessCar Awards, which are being held at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London on 13 September.
Designed to recognise the fleets, suppliers and manufacturers that demonstrate outstanding customer service and innovative products, the awards are judged by respected industry experts including well-known road testers, fleet managers and representatives from industry bodies. Plus there are two reader-voted awards: new company car of the year and manufacturer of the year, which will be open for voting next week with the winners announced on the night alongside the other awards.
Sponsored by the AA, Ensto, BMW, Volvo and ODO, the BusinessCar Awards are now in their second year and aim to build on the success of 2017.
The full shortlist is below. If you are yet to book your table or tickets, details and more information is available at www.businesscarawards.co.uk.
