Caroline Perry, Brake's NZ Director, says: "We're delighted at the level of last-minute interest in the Fleet Safety Awards. Entering the awards is a fantastic opportunity for organisations and individuals to gain recognition for their successes in improving fleet safety, and so we're extending the awards deadline to allow these organisations to submit an entry and be in the running for an award. The awards are free and simple to enter, and I'd encourage anyone who has not yet had the chance to enter to take advantage of the deadline extension."
