Fleet managers and suppliers have a highly valuable opportunity to gain recognition for their achievements by entering the Great British Fleet Awards 2026.

The awards celebrate those at the forefront of innovation and the fleet sector

An integral part of April’s Great British Fleet Event, the awards are free to enter and celebrate those at the forefront of innovation within the fleet sector, from fleet managers to service firms.

Nominations are now open for the Fleet Manager and Supplier Innovation categories. Entries are open until the deadline of 1pm on 27 February 2026 and more details are online here. Self- and third-party nominations are all welcome.

The awards will also celebrate the UK’s greatest cars, vans and electric vehicles but do not require entries.
