Fleet News Awards 2022 finalists announced
Following five days of deliberation, discussion, arguments and agreement, Fleet News can announce the finalists for the fleet industry’s most prestigious and sought-after awards. The five judging panels (cars, vans, trucks, suppliers, fleets) sifted through a wealth of outstanding entries before coming to their conclusions under the watchful eyes of awards chairman Christopher Macgowan and auditor Brian Cooper from EY. Such was the high level of quality and quantity of entries, not everyone has made it through to the list of finalists.
Feedback will be made available to those companies requesting it after the winners and highly commendeds are revealed at the awards dinner on March 16 at Grosvenor House Hotel. Congratulations to all the people and companies that have made it through the various intense stages of the awards process onto the shortlist.
