Driver of the Year, a new addition to the influential awards, recognises exceptional driving performance across light commercial vehicle fleets. Beating almost 10,000 other drivers, Stephen picked up the award after consistently achieving 100 per cent on his driving performance \u2013 a statistic provided by Lightfoot, the in-van technology which promotes safe and environmentally-friendly driving.<\/p>\n
Operating in the North London and South West region, Stephen\u2019s efficient and reliable driving ultimately won him the prestigious title. However, fleet operations manager at CEF, Ian Thorn, was quick to praise Stephen\u2019s all-round professionalism: \u2018Stephen goes about his daily vehicle checks with military precision. He always says that the cab is his office \u2013 and he can\u2019t work in a dirty office!\u2019<\/p>\n
During his seven years with CEF, Stephen has become famous at the Launceston branch for taking great pride and care in his work \u2013 from his spotless van to his outstanding customer service. Ian continued: \u2018He\u2019s not just a professional behind the wheel \u2013 Stephen\u2019s interaction with customers is superb. He accommodates their every need with excellent attention to detail.\u2019<\/p>\n
Stephen\u2019s achievement reflects the high standards of quality and care which CEF delivers to its nationwide customers. On receiving the award, Stephen said: \u2018It\u2019s a fantastic accomplishment. Being part of CEF gives you a real sense of pride in the service you deliver and drives you to be the best you can be – it\u2019s great to know that this has been recognised.\u2019<\/p>\n
The well-deserved accolade is tribute to Stephen\u2019s excellent work. Always willing to go above and beyond, Stephen is a role model for the CEF fleet of delivery drivers.<\/p>\n
