This year’s event is particularly exciting for us as we celebrate being shortlisted as finalists for not one, but two of the few awards up for grabs on the night: the Fleet News Wellbeing Award, sponsored by Cox Automotive Europe, and the FN50 Customer Service Award – recognising the achievements of bott’s Service and Delivery team, managed by Lisa Osborne. Find out more towards the end of these images about why our people and customers are proud to support this recognition, which is testament to the efforts and passion of our employees every day.
