One of the longest-running and most prestigious events in the fleet sector, the Fleet News Awards brings together nearly 1,500 guests to celebrate and recognise the best achievements from across the industry.

The London ceremony, compered by comedian Katherine Ryan, saw Bri-Stor Systems recognised for its outstanding contribution to innovation and sustainability, its people, and its customer-centric approach. The accolade illustrates its reputation for consistency and quality in the fleet sector, with Bri-Stor Systems the only company to have won Converter of the Year since the category was first introduced by Fleet News in 2024.

Judges were especially impressed by Bri-Stor’s commitment to sustainability and the environment, saying: “A converter which does everything under one roof, Bri-Stor Systems is an excellent single-source solution for any fleet.”

Known for leading the way in sustainability and innovation, Bri-Stor Systems has introduced several new initiatives in the past 12 months. Its Centre of Excellence is a dedicated training facility that helps raise safety and quality standards and its application of Virtual Reality (VR) Engineering enables 3D prototype sign-off – reducing its lead times.

To have won it twice before was a huge moment of pride for us – so to win it again is a true illustration of the dedication and hard work that goes on across the business. I also want to acknowledge our customers and suppliers for their continued support. It’s thanks to their collaboration and shared commitment that we are able to maintain such exceptional standards.”

“We want to remain at the cutting edge of fleet management and vehicle conversions. This means delivering smarter, faster, and greener conversions, giving our customers confidence, reducing waste, and meeting demanding deadlines without compromise.”
