Accolades to the most deserving

Nick Vlok, CEO at DigiCore Holdings, supplier of Ctrack and a sponsor of the event, says, "Given the high level of entries and positive feedback, the awards category reaffirms our commitment to recognise and commend fleet owners and managers that have demonstrated excellence in their respective field, addressing new trends as well as prompting continuous best practices in the sector."

Toni Fritz, head of vehicle and asset finance, Business and Commercial Standard Bank, another event sponsors, adds, "The Awards portion of the expo is very exciting and we are looking forward to bestowing honours and accolades to the most deserving in the industry at the TruckX Expo, Conference and Awards on 9 July 2015 at the Sandton Convention Centre."

Seats are still available for the TruckX Conference that will address issues of deep significance to the transport and logistics industry in its second year. The inaugural event, held in 2014, saw industry experts and delegates mingle at an informative event and this year will build on that success.

To add to the event, the organisers, Future Group have added a one-day expo geared to the themes of the conference by displaying innovative products, technologies and initiatives within the trucking and logistics sectors. This, coupled with the awards ceremony in 15 'Best of' categories, will give participants an exciting and eventful day.
