The 2010 Focus on Excellence Awards programme is about to kick into high gear, with the research commencing and the announcement of the finalists. The winners will be announced at the annual Focus on Excellence Awards Banquet, sponsored by WesBank, which takes place in Johannesburg on 9 November 2010.

Formal invitations will be issued in due course... We wait with bated breath to see who will be crowned the best of the best this year!

The FOCUS ON EXCELLENCE awards programme was conceived in 2006, and the inaugural event was a massive success.

Numerous industry leaders are eyeing a FOCUS ON EXCELLENCE award, the premiere accolade within the transport industry.

The list of finalists is compiled following extensive research within the transport industry. Highly respected market research company, Scott Byers, literally asked thousands of questions to industry captains before compiling the list of finalists. Operational for 20 years, Scott Byers produces the quarterly Comparative Customer Satisfaction Monitor (CCSM), which names the transport industry's top achievers in the all-important field of customer satisfaction.

"There are many world-class companies with the transport industry - and we would like to acknowledge this fact," says editor of FOCUS ON TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS magazine, Charleen Clarke. "Our hearty congratulations to the finalists - they truly are the 'best of the best' in our industry. It is a massive achievement to be named as a finalist."

Opinions were sought from owners and managers of road transport fleets who own or operate more than 10 vehicles with a gross vehicle mass (GVM) of more than 3 500 kg. These names were randomly selected from thousands of current records drawn from the Scott Byers truck database.
