Major fleet award for AA DriveTech

24 January 2012

AA DriveTech, the commercial driver training arm of the AA, has won the Risk Management category in the 2012 Business Car Awards.

Commenting on the award, Managing Director Jim Kirkwood said: “We are particularly pleased to receive this accolade as this award is unique in the fleet industry and voted for exclusively by the readers of Business Car magazine and Business Car online, with no outside influence being brought to bear. It’s gratifying to hear that so many senior people in the fleet industry took the trouble to vote and therefore express their satisfaction with our contribution to business driver welfare and fleet running cost reduction.”
