MasterDrive is proud to announce its upcoming third annual Fleet Safety Awards, a prestigious ceremony celebrating excellence in road safety across African industries.

This landmark event is a first-of-its-kind in Africa quickly becoming a powerful opportunity to recognise organisations and individuals that go above and beyond to create safer roads.

The CEO of MasterDrive, Eugene Herbert, says the headline partners of the Fleet Safety Awards play a critical role in showcasing innovative and outstanding achievements in fleet safety. “This year, we welcome Webfleet and FNB as new, influential partners to the Awards. These partners join Santam Heavy Haulage and Castrol - illustrating the expansion of the Awards’ reach and influence.

“Our new headline partners cement the Awards' position as a primary road safety initiative. With four powerful partners supporting the Fleet Safety Awards, we're confident that 2024 will set new benchmarks for the awards' impact and success,” says Herbert. 

Justin Manson, Sales Director at Webfleet South Africa, Bridgestone’s global fleet management solution, says the Fleet Safety Awards align well with the organisation’s mission. “Promoting road safety is a priority at Webfleet. Thus, supporting an initiative that shares the same objective, is a natural step for us.

“We have high expectations for the 2024 awards. The more organisations that support it, the stronger its message becomes. Widening the conversation around road safety is of critical importance. The Awards allow organisations to assess where they fall within the realm of road safety and what needs to be done to reach the highest standards,” says Manson.

Marketing Portfolio Manager at FNB, Thabang Wessie, says logistics play a pivotal role in developing the economy. “Safer roads are of utmost importance which is why recognising businesses and individuals actively prioritising best practice, and behaviours should be recognised. It shines a greater spotlight on road safety while allowing us to celebrate those who do it best.

“The Fleet Safety Awards aligns well with our values as a bank centred on helping customers and the wider community. We are aligned to what the Awards stand for and aim to continue to be a force behind entities that drive better experiences on our roads just as we do for customers with our fleet solutions,” says Wessie.

All that remains is to award the 2024 winners. “As the industry awaits the upcoming ceremony, the Awards will again recognise another year of excellence and innovation in road safety,” says Herbert.
