- RB Associates celebrating their triple victory with Fleet Procure MD Lee Jones at the awards. From L to R: Farrell Eden, Faye Swales, Lee Jones and Kirsty Cunningham
THE Ford terms holder RB Associates won no fewer than three awards at last night’s Fleet Procure Conference and Awards (29 November).
Held at crazy golf indoor centre Puttshack in west London’s Westfield shopping centre, the vehicle purchasing system event saw three out of the nine awards go to the York based Ford provider, part of the Drivespeed Group.
The company won Single Brand Supplier of the Year; Van Supplier of the Year; and Broker Voted Supplier of the Year.
Other winners included Julie Whittingham of JT Hughes for the individual most recognised by brokers; Hyundai the manufacturer award; and LeasePlan the funder award.
The awards were a mixture of volume supply awards and broker voted awards.
We’d like to thank all our guests for attending what was a great mix of some business, plenty of networking and some fun golf. Congratulations to RB Associates for the triple win and to all our other winners. This is the second time we have run this event and it’s getting stronger and more popular each time.
Lee Jones, managing director, Fleet Procure
Over 80 dealer, broker, manufacturer and funder guests attended the event.
