Fleet Alliance has won an astonishing five awards at the 2022 Leasing Broker Federation (LBF) awards event – 50% of all the awards available on the day.

The Glasgow-based vehicle funding and fleet management specialist, which manages in excess of 30,000 vehicles on behalf of SME and corporate clients, scooped the top award on the night, Leasing Broker of the Year, having already claimed the awards for Best EV Broker, Best Large Leasing Broker, Best Leasing Broker Customer Service and Best Fleet Management Service.

The five awards join a further three LBF awards in the Fleet Alliance trophy cabinet which the company won last year when the event returned after an involuntary break caused by the Covid pandemic.

With regard to this year’s top award, the Leasing Broker of the Year, sponsored by QV Systems, the judges said: “It’s not hard to see why Fleet Alliance has won the ultimate accolade this year having come out top in four of the categories by demonstrating that the company is an aggressive innovator and a premier fleet management business.”

They were similarly effusive about the Best EV Broker award, which was sponsored by Project EV: “In a market characterised by large bank-owned contract hirers, Fleet Alliance sets themselves apart as one of the UK’s premier independent fleet management specialists. Its award-winning fleet management solutions are delivered and supported via its market-leading Fleet 360 model which provides clients with a unique combination of advice, innovative products and technology, competitive pricing, and award-winning service.”

Fleet Alliance CEO, Andy Bruce, said the results were ‘astonishing’ in the light of the intense competition this year and paid tribute to the outstanding efforts of his team.

“These five awards are a fitting tribute to the superb efforts of our people in delivering outstanding results across the board.

“We are of course delighted to win all of these awards, including the top award for Leasing Broker of the Year. But the EV Broker award is particularly pleasing as we have placed a large emphasis on making a wide range of EVs available to our customers, especially through our highly successful salary sacrifice scheme.”

The Leasing Broker Federation judging panel found selecting this year’s winners, which were announced at the exclusive Century Club, Soho, London, far from an easy task due to the strength of the entries and the levels of innovation shown right the way across the leasing broker sector. An outstanding achievement, once again, from all of the team at Fleet Alliance.

Techno meltdown for robotaxis, but the road ahead is automated

Oh dear. Technology doesn’t always quite deliver what’s intended. Malfunctions are never what you want, from the blank screen on your laptop to the traffic lights all stuck on red. Worse, on green.
