More than 400 of Belgium’s top fleet professionals gathered in Brussels last week for the annual link2fleet Forum and Awards. The big winner of the evening was Sandra Eemans (pictured middle), Fleet Administrator at Mediahuis, a Belgian-based newspaper publisher and broadcast media owner.

Ms. Eemans was selected as Fleet Owner of  the Year, succeeding Thomas Tomme, Utility Fleet Manager at Eandis, a major electricity distributor in Belgium. Second place in the Fleet Manager of the Year category went to Peter Van de Velde (KPMG; pictured left), third place was for Michel Van Dongen (USG People; pictured right).
