TV presenter and actress Gaby Roslin has been confirmed as the host of the inaugural Commercial Fleet Awards, and will be joined by major British comedy talent Marcus Brigstocke on Thursday, September 24, at The International Centre, Telford.

Gaby Roslin has presented across the TV schedule, from Children in Need to Life Begins Again. She has also starred as Mama Morton in the long running West End production of Chicago. Gaby is probably best known for co-hosting Channel 4’s Big Breakfast with Chris Evans.

Comedian, writer, actor, presenter and performer, Marcus launched The Late Edition and is a regular on panel shows such as Have I Got News For You.

As well as a fixture at the Edinburgh Fringe, he is the host of I’ve Never Seen Star Wars on both radio and TV, and has even cropped up on Question Time, Newsnight, and This Week.

The prestigious black tie event will attract the cream of the commercial fleet industry, with over 300 of the industry's great and good having already secured their places for the night that recognises achievement and celebrates the critical role the industry plays in keeping British business moving.

The event will follow in the evening of the Commercial Fleet Summit and offers a vital opportunity for the industry to share best practice, network and celebrate.

Fleet operators will be able to demonstrate commitment to the highest standards in terms of operation, innovation and safety, while suppliers can highlight their service offering and innovation.

The manufacturer categories compare vehicles across a number of core fleet criteria, including payload, safety, technology, running costs, fuel efficiency, reliability and aftersales service.

Chairman of the judging panel Christopher Macgowan, OBE and former chief executive of the SMMT, said: “This year has been one of innovation, great service and achievement so the judging panel will no doubt have a tough time selecting the winners.

“It is also fitting that for such a premier event we have Gaby hosting the Awards and Marcus providing the entertainment; their participation at the Commercial Fleet Awards further helps recognise industry success.”
