Last week, Michael Brown and a few more Brit European drivers met Dave Button at Ashford Truck Stop.
Dave was presented with 'The Lifetime Achievement' award by Truck and Driver.
Here's a couple of photo's taken by Michael! Congrats again Dave.

Very well deserved for Dave Button!
Thank you for everything you have done for Brit European over the years! It's great to see our drivers recognised for the hard work that they've put in. You've helped to shape the company into what it is today and we are very grateful for that.

A little while ago, we nominated one of our longest serving drivers under the 'Lifetime Achievement' category at the 'Life on the Road' awards...
Last week we found out that he has won!
Congratulations DAVE BUTTON!
We are so glad that we were able to recognise your achievements over the 40 years that you've been with us & that others were able to celebrate your successes too!
We'd also like to add a big thank you to Alan Clarke for attending Convoy in the Park this weekend, to collect the award on behalf of Dave. A great gesture from a true friend.
Here's a couple of photo's from the day...
(More to come of Dave himself, when he was met by Road Transport Magazine to let him know the brilliant news).

The future of our industry has great potential!
Autonomous vehicles, 3D printing and sensors have been found to be some of the best technologies to help improve the transport industry - by influencing travel demand, increasing the capacity of the transport network, or improving the productivity of travellers...
Here's a look at a few scenarios where technology could be implemented!

We are very proud to support the 'Low Hanging Tree Management' online petition. Most of us have been unlucky enough to experience the damage this can cause, so we are asking that you take two minutes out of your day to sign it too:
you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/low-hanging-tree-management-1
This campaign needs your support, the more signatures we can get, the better chance we have of seeing fair management of overhanging trees to reduce the damage and associated risks for our drivers and vulnerable road users alike.
Thanks in advance... Let's all stay safe together!
