Fleet News Awards

Entries are now open for the 2026 Fleet News Awards, which seek to honour and celebrate people and companies that exemplify quality, innovation, knowledge and leadership, as well as the best cars and vans that fleets should be considering for their operations.

The Fleet News Awards offer individuals and companies an opportunity to boost their profile and credibility with customers, within the organisation and with the local community, as well as improve staff motivation.

Six experts join the judging panel for the first time, including Matt Neale, head of fleet, Platform Housing Group, who takes his place on the fleet categories as is tradition after winning the fleet manager of the year award.

Four join the supplier panel: Benjamin Mann, sourcing and contracts manager at National House Building Council; Steve Mulvaney, fleet manager at Canal & River Trust; Chris Mullings, senior fleet manager at Openreach; and Elaine Pringle, fleet manager at Scottish Water.

Meanwhile, the car panel is boosted by the addition of Leigh Merry, senior asset and credit risk manager at Novuna Vehicle Solutions.

Ensuring that every entry is given due consideration and the process is robust and transparent are returning auditor Nigel Morris, employment tax director at EY, and long-serving chair of the judges Christopher Macgown OBE.
