VOLKSWAGEN employees (pictured) have been recognised through an internal fleet awards scheme.

The scheme, called ‘Fundamentally Fleet’, is open to the group’s retailer network and awards the top performing 20 fleet sales managers and 40 fleet sales executives.

Martin Pye, of Breeze Volkswagen, secured fleet sales manager of the year and Toniya Smith, of Ventura Park Tamworth, won fleet sales executive of the year.

Vince Kinner, head of fleet services at Volkswagen, said: ‘I’m delighted to be able to meet so many individuals who make such a difference to our business. ‘The quality of candidates this year was particularly high.’
