Van Fleet World has uncovered the UK’s top light commercial vehicles and the Van Manufacturer of the Year at this year’s Great British Fleet Awards.
The winners were announced at a prestigious black-tie gala dinner last night (25 April 2023) at the Marshall Arena, Milton Keynes, preceded by a day packed full of exhibitions, conferences and networking at the Great British Fleet Event.
Judged by an expert panel of Fleet World Group editors, this year’s awards span 40 categories.
Among the van awards, Ford Pro took several major categories, including the Large Van of the Year and overall Van of the Year title for the E-Transit, the best pickup for the Ranger and Van Manufacturer of the year.
The accolades also recognise the industry’s best cars – again including electric vehicles – as well as high-achieving fleet managers and suppliers.
