30 July 2026: Nominations for Fleet Guy Awards are LIVE
On 9 October 2026, we are hosting Fleet Guy Live and the first ever Fleet Guy Awards. These awards are to recognise the individuals, garages & fleets in our industry who are pioneering the way in fleet work.
The Fleet Guy Awards are the first national awards created specifically for the fleet‑focused independent garage community. They celebrate excellence, raise standards and shine a spotlight on the people who keep fleets moving. The awards sit at the heart of our mission to build a confident, capable and connected fleet community – built for our community of garages and fleet partners. They recognise real achievement, real capability and real impact.
Garages or individuals can nominate themselves or others via www.fleetguy.co.uk/awards before 6 September 2026.
Garages & fleets are invited to join us for the Awards Ceremony at Fleet Guy Live - tickets are live via www.fleetguy.co.uk/live and attendees will also receive a ticket to the Pre-Blend social on the evening. Fleet Guy Live will be full of insights, inspiration and connection as well as live music and lots of networking!
9 June 2026: Round Table Event in partnership with Automechanika Birmingham, sponsored by Castrol
Fleet Guy recently hosted an exclusive high‑level event, bringing together fleet companies from across the UK to explore the future of fleet service, maintenance and repair.
Delivered in partnership with Automechanika Birmingham, the event reflected the growing industry focus on strengthening collaboration between fleet operators and the independent aftermarket.
We were delighted that seventeen of the top fleet companies from across the UK joined us. Between them, they look after 3.5 million vehicles, so their input is critical to evolving the partnerships between independent garages and fleet companies.
We also shared details of the upcoming Fleet Guy Audit Hub - a new compliance platform designed to give garages a single place to organise their compliance paperwork, and to give fleet companies confidence when selecting independent workshops for SMR work.
We also discussed the standards that should form part of the Fleet Guy Certified Scheme, how we can continue to raise standards across the independent garage sector, and the challenges and frustrations fleet companies face that independent garages are uniquely positioned to solve.
Have a look at the photos and watch this space for more info to come about Fleet Guy Audit Hub!
1 June 2026: Fleet Guy gains IMI accreditation on first national fleet‑work accreditation for independent garages
Fleet Guy has announced a major industry first: the development of the UK’s first IMI accreditation for fleet service, maintenance and repair delivered by independent garages. The new standard, Fleet Guy Certified, is now being advanced with the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) to raise consistency, capability and confidence across the fast‑growing fleet SMR sector.
Nearly 100 garages already engaged in the Fleet Guy community will now benefit from working towards the introduction of a recognised national standard. This marks a significant step toward harmonising expectations and improving safety, consistency and trust across the sector.
To become Fleet Guy Certified, a garage must complete a 40-question assessment, based on the Fleet Guy 12-month training programme, and complete a live audit.
New members are invited to join webinars and find out more. If you have any questions, then get in touch with the team!
