The awards cover three categories for Dealer, Technician and Outstanding Performer Of The Year and salute outstanding achievements in customer service, compliance and safety in the industry.

The technician of the year winner was Gwynne Jones (Pullman Fleet Services Ellesmere Port).
Peter Ellison, Head of Fleet Services, SHEQ & Compliance and one of the judges said: “Gwynne has presented virtually every HOYER MOT this year and through completing thorough quality checks has maintained a solid first time pass rate on the HOYER contract for the past two years. He has taken ownership of the first time pass rate for PFS and provides feedback from the test station sharing best practice to the rest of the workshop. Gwynne has developed and maintained a good professional relationship with VOSA at all times and achieved credibility with the testers.”
