For the team at Fleet Service GB yesterday’s ceremony was more than just an awards night, it was a validation of a journey that began over a decade ago.

This “all-in” culture ensures that client service is never just a department, but a personal mission for every team member. Moving to bespoke offices in Wiltshire in 2025, Fleet Service GB has grown from a bold start-up into an industry leader.

Why the Judges Chose Fleet Service GB
The category of Fleet Management Company of the Year is notoriously difficult to win. It requires evidence of measurable cost savings, technological superiority, and outstanding customer feedback.

“Fleet Service GB stands out for its holistic approach to vehicle and driver management. Their product isn’t just a tool; it’s a transformative ecosystem that bridges the gap between data and actionable safety insights. The judges were particularly impressed by the ‘Achieve’ platform’s ability to reduce operational costs whilst simultaneously improving driver wellbeing – a rare and difficult balance to strike in today’s market.”
