The Fleet News Awards 2020 was the last major industry event before the first Covid lockdown and the 2021 Awards look set to become the first major industry dinner following the third lockdown.
Ascot will provide the perfect setting for a summer celebration and recognition of fleet excellence. In a break with tradition, the dress code will also change from the traditional black tie to casual attire more befitting of a garden party.

With new categories and a merger with the Commercial Fleet Awards, the 2021 event will bring together for the first time every aspect of fleet, from car to van to truck.
Winning a Fleet News Awards trophy doesn’t come easy, but the effort is worth every moment. Studies show that winners enjoy a measurable improvement in business performance and credibility, while it can also raise staff motivation.
Group fleet manager Shaun Atton described himself as “proud” and “over the moon” after collecting the most improved fleet of the year trophy for Auto Windscreens at last year’s Fleet News Awards. British Gas head of fleet Steve Winter, who won the fleet of the year gong, said it was “a great reward for our fleet team”.
Final test - March 2017
Our Renault Kadjar has served us well over the past 12 months. We’ve managed to put 20,000 miles on the car and test it in a variety of driving conditions.
With CO2 emissions of 99g/km (17-inch wheels) its key rival is the car with which it shares a platform: the Nissan Qashqai. Both use the same smooth and refined 1.5-litre diesel engine, but Renault offers it with an automatic gearbox.
Unfortunately said gearbox has been the biggest criticism of the Kadjar, with everyone that’s driven it returning the same verdict that it would be ‘better with a manual’.

“It was a herculean effort by everyone, and I thoroughly enjoyed it – I probably listened to more seminars than I would have done at the live event!”
