Fleet Guy announces shortlist for awards dedicated to fleet focused garages

Fleet Guy has announced the shortlist for the inaugural Fleet Guy Awards, the first national awards programme created specifically for the fleet focused independent garage community. The awards celebrate excellence, raise standards and shine a spotlight on the people who keep fleets moving.

The awards sit within Fleet Guy’s wider mission to help garages grow profitable fleet work and build a confident, capable and connected national community. Fleet Guy is the UK’s first Fleet Work Training Community, offering structured modules, live webinars, technical support and a pathway to Fleet Guy Certification, accredited by the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI). The awards recognise the garages and individuals who embody these values and are raising standards across the sector, with the judging panel including network managers from several large fleet companies.

Tim Guidotti, Founder of Fleet Guy and Owner of Ferdotti Motor Services said: “We are delighted with how many fantastic entries we received from across the UK. It was a tough job for our judging panel; every application had its strengths. The shortlist we’ve announced is really exciting. There are so many deserving garages out there doing great fleet work.”

The Fleet of the Year Award is currently being voted for by Fleet Guy member garages. All award winners will be announced at Fleet Guy LIVE on 9 October in Birmingham, the first event to bring together independent garages and fleet companies for a full day of insight, connection and industry discussion. The day will be followed by the pre-Blend social, sponsored by TMD Friction, with tickets available HERE.
