Trakm8 has revealed the winner in its search for Britain’s Road Safety Hero, carried out in partnership with road safety charity Brake.
E.On driver Sherry Cox was presented with the prize for her commitment to road safety and awareness, after being nominated by her manager for her work. She will receive a £250 Amazon voucher as the Road Safety Hero Award winner.
Cox said: “It’s a real honour to be named a Road Safety Hero and receive this award. I’ve always considered part of my job to take personal responsibility for my driving as well for the condition of the vehicles I use. Road traffic incidents can have a terribly high cost, both in terms of their impact on the people involved and the business. If it’s within my power to take any steps that make an accident behind the wheel less likely, and helps keep others safe, of course I will, just as I hope any other responsible road user would.”
Nick Guise, group marketing manager, at Trakm8, added that the company had been inundated with entries for the Trakm8 Road Safety Hero award, as with the 2021 accolade.
“It’s great to see that this is a topic that is getting the attention it deserves and that drivers are being recognised for their hard work.
“Sherry stood out as someone who really personifies this year’s Road Safety Week message, ‘Safe Roads for All’. She has clearly and consistently worked to keep others safe and promote the right attitudes and practices in other drivers. This type of attitude goes a long way to making a difference to the level of danger posed by roads in the UK. Sherry is a credit to E.On, and the industry as a whole.”
