Dumfries & Galloway Council was awarded “Public Sector Fleet of the Year (above 250 vehicles)” at the 2011 GreenFleet Awards ceremony at Twickenham Stadium on Thursday 13th October.
The Awards, sponsored by O2, were attended by all the big names in the fleet industry, and presented by impressionist Alistair McGowan, who referred to them as ‘the Oscars of the fleet industry’.
This is the second award of this type the Council’s Fleet Management team has picked up within a matter of weeks. A few weeks ago they were named UK Transport & Fleet Team at the Association for Public Service Excellence’s awards in September.
A range of organisations met recently to work together to improve the region’s readiness for severe and extreme weather.
