Vauxhall Celebrate Brake Safety Award

Vauxhall today revealed that they have been honoured with the Driver Safety Award after being shortlisted for three awards at the recent Brake Awards Ceremony.

Simon Monk, Company Vehicle Operations Manager said:

“I am absolutely delighted, this really validates the work we have collectively done over the last 5 years to improve our employees’ driver safety.”

The award comes after repeated work by the company to improve brakes after they were forced to recall over 250,000 vehicles in the Vectra range due to braking being released involuntarily.

Julie Townsend, Deputy Chief Executive at Brakes said:

“The Fleet Safety Forum Awards for Excellence 2010 was a great success with record breaking level of entries and attendance.”

The awards which are held to recognise the rapid development of road risk management raised over £2,000 for the road traffic charity Brake who help people suffering from the effects of road traffic accidents.

When collecting the award Vauxhall representatives paid special thanks to Bill Parfitt Chairman and CEO of Vauxhall motors saying that his “relentless commitment to safe driving practices has been a constant inspiration for all employees.
