The Institute of Traffic Management (ITM) has awarded DriveTech the title of ‘Driver Safety Solutions Specialist 2009'.

The Berkshire-based business has won the accolade on three occasions in the past and it sits alongside four other awards it has won from the ITM in the past nine years.

“We’re very pleased to be recognised by a body which represents the whole of the transportation industry, not just the sector in which DriveTech operates,” said managing director Jim Kirkwood.

The ITM issued the award on the basis of DriveTech’s diverse involvement in driver education across the board.

Apart from servicing 280 corporate fleet customers, with everything from online driver assessments to practical training courses, DriveTech now operates 20 different schemes on behalf of more than a dozen police forces, where drivers can opt for an educational workshop in preference to receiving a fine and points on their licence.
