Double delight for Skoda UK
By Jamie White – Head of Communications
Skoda UK scooped two prestigious accolades at this year’s Fleet News Awards which took place at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London.
The ‘Oscars’ of the fleet calendar, the annual event recognises the best-performing businesses and individuals within the sector during the last 12 months.
The panel of judges, made up of members of the Fleet News editorial team as well as industry experts, voted the Skoda Octavia Estate the ‘Best Estate Car’ for its combination of affordability and space, in addition to its range of efficient power plants. The Superb Estate, a winner of the category for the last two years, once again came highly-acclaimed in the same class.
In what proved to be a busy night for the vehicle manufacturer, the Skoda Yeti was also named ‘Best Crossover’, a model praised by the panel for quality, versatility, low rate of depreciation, and offering a very appealing and solid proposition to fleet operators.
Patrick McGillycuddy, Head of Fleet Skoda UK said: “We are extremely proud to have received these two prestigious industry awards for the Skoda Octavia Estate and the Yeti crossover. Providing an exceptional level of practicality and value for money, as well as highly competitive CO2 emissions, both models have consistently proved popular amongst company car drivers.”
He added: “These accolades are a great achievement and further reinforce a very encouraging first quarter for Skoda fleet. It is also testament to the team’s continued commitment to building strong relationships with our customers and offering them expert advice about the model range.”
