Fleet safety Conference and Awards

Road safety charity Brake is inviting fleet operators and suppliers to enter and attend its annual fleet safety conference and awards. The 2013 event will, for the first time, combine BrakeÕs flagship fleet events, the fleet safety conference and fleet safety awards programme.

The combined event will take place at the St John’s Hotel, Solihull, Birmingham, UK, on Thursday 13 June 2013, with a breakfast networking event to round it off taking place on the morning of Friday 14 June. The deadline for awards entries is Friday 15 February 2013.

The Awards will have 11 categories, ranging from company driver safety, to fleet safety Innovation, with a new individual category for 2013, best newcomer to road risk management. These awards recognise the achievements of those working to help reduce the number of costly, and in many cases fatal, road crashes involving at-work drivers. Last yearÕs winners represent a diverse range of fleet organisations including Royal Mail, NestlŽ Mexico and Gateshead Council. Awards will be presented at a gala dinner with entertainment.

The conference will provide an opportunity to hear from a range of academic and practitioner speakers on key fleet safety issues, as well as best practice examples from organisations.
