We’ve been shortlisted at the 2025 Fleet News Awards

We’re delighted to announce that Collard Group has been shortlisted in the Excellence in Fleet Safety & Compliance category at the prestigious Fleet News Awards, with the ceremony taking place at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London on Wednesday 12th March. 

Throughout our entry, we were able to clearly demonstrate our robust approach to risk management and safety when it comes to our fleet of 129 HGVs and vans, including the positive impact this has on our vehicles, drivers and journeys. We’re proud to have launched a number of initiatives to support fleet safety and compliance, including installing Tachomaster DOT tracking on all our HGVs and Samsara tracking on our vans and cars, a five-year vehicle replacement policy, enhanced fuel and CO2 reporting, and enhanced driver training. What’s more, we achieved FORS Gold accreditation again in 2024, demonstrating that we have the highest industry standards when it comes to fleet safety, efficiency, and sustainability. 

Being shortlisted for the Excellence in Fleet Safety & Compliance award among a number of industry giants is further evidence of our ongoing commitment to going the extra mile when it comes to safety, and setting the bar for the industry. 

Our Group Transport Director, Roddy Taylor, said: “We are never standing still, and we are always looking to improve. My competitive nature supported by a dedicated and passionate team makes us strive to be the best at what we do. It’s not about meeting minimum industry standards for us, it’s about setting the bar as high as we can for others to follow.”

Congratulations to our team for working so hard to achieve this fantastic recognition!
