Two Stobart Drivers have been shortlisted in the Microlise Group Annual Driver of the Year Awards. The annual awards highlight the most talented logistics drivers working in the UK transport industry today.
Developed in cooperation with The University of Nottingham, this year’s awards fall into two groups; Data-led Awards, based on Microlise Group’s own telematics data and Awards by Nomination, voted for by industry peers and judged by an expert panel of Road Transport professionals.
Stobart Driver, James Ross from Stoke, has been selected as one of the final three shortlisted for Extra Mile Award, for his dedication and commitment to the business, with supporting over 1,000 new Drivers who joined the organisation throughout 2023, following the large scale TUPE transfer of the Morrisons contract to Stobart.
Kamil Krakowiak, a Stobart Driver from Trafford Park has been shortlisted as one of three finalists for the Young Driver of the Year. Kamil is A-Graded on Microlise for driving styles and is a dedicated true professional, with exceptional standards of performance and safety.
In addition to the two shortlisted Drivers that made the top 3 for their respective categories, Lawrence Hart, a Stobart Driver from Appleton was also recognised in the Top 45 for the Driver of the Year category, selected by Microlise, based on his outstanding Driver performance recorded through Microlise. The shortlisting follows a review of over 220,000 drivers’ performance data from across the UK.
Neil Rowbotham, Managing Director of Transport for Stobart said, ‘I am truly delighted for two of our Driver colleagues to be shortlisted for these awards and it is testament to them for the approach they have and the commitment they give, not just to Stobart but to their profession, that they are being recognised.’
The winners will be announced at the Microlise VIP Awards ceremony taking place on 18 March at the Coventry Building Society Arena.
