DriveTech has been named Thames Valley Business of the Year.

Jim Kirkwood, managing director of DriveTech, said: “This is a wonderful result and testimony to all the hard work put in by our dedicated staff during pretty tough commercial times.

"The judges clearly recognised that DriveTech exemplifies all that is good about a region that is already renowned for its creativity, industry and growth.”

The award comes only weeks after the company was awarded Best Driver Training Company in the 2008 Green Fleet Awards.
