Fleet Europe Awards: I just love this time of year!

The clock ticks quickly as the years roll by, but I just love this time of year.  Why? Well the Fleet Europe Forum and Awards are just around the corner! 

Here at the Fleet Europe HQ we've been busy planning and prepping for the must attend fleet event of the year.  We've got the venue sorted and the date is set.  The great and the good of the fleet community with be gathering in Rome, Italy, on the 19 November 2015. It's going to be brilliant!

Over the years the Fleet Europe Forum has become the place to be if you want learn from top draw speakers, network with fellow professionals and hear all about exciting, innovative ideas in our ever-changing fleet business. And on-top of all this, there's the Fleet Europe Awards too!

Internationally recognised, the awards are the ones that everybody in our industry wants to win! In front of over 600 of the leading lights in international fleet management we could be announcing your name as a winner of one of these awards! 

Entering the awards is not just a great way to showcase to your colleagues back in the office what you've done, but also offers you the chance to benchmark your fleet programme against your peers.  And on top of this, you get to spend time presenting your programme to the best in the business that make up our jury!

We've got so much talent on the jury that you'll learn loads of stuff just talking to the jury about what you do, how you do it and why you should be the winner of a coveted Fleet Europe Award. 

So get thinking about how you've made a difference to your company's fleet. Have you revolutionised the buying process and boosted the bottom line? Perhaps you've initiated a behavioural change programme that's got driver thinking and acting in a smart way. Has safety been on the agenda and delivered results? Maybe mobility and sustainability have been on the roadmap and scored highly. 

There's so much happening in the fleet industry today and our jury of experts can't wait to hear what you've been doing. So, what awards can you enter?  For car fleet buyers there's the International Fleet Manager of the Year Award, the International Fleet Green Award, the International Mobility Award, the International Fleet Safety Award and the International Fleet Innovation Award. 

Suppliers please don't feel left out!  We cater for you too. The International Fleet Industry Award lets you show the competition and the gathered crowd of buyers what you've got. So, if you have got a ground breaking, innovative tool, product or service, then create a stir by telling our judges about it. 

And that's not all folks! We'll also announce who is going to enter the International Fleet Hall of Fame on the night. Voted by you, it recognises a pillar of the fleet community who has made a real difference to our industry.  

Phew! It's going to be busy, but I'm looking forward!  What an  amazing night awaits us. But first things, first. There's no time to lose. You can find all information, together with the Application Form and Questionnaire on our event website. And if you need even more information, or you have a question, let me know.

Let's get the ball rolling!  You've got to be in it to win it. Impress the judges and you could be walking away from Rome with a Fleet Europe Award under your arm.  It sure sounds good, doesn't it?
