What better way to mark the new millennium than to win Trucker of the Year 2000P Tony Selby (pictured with his better half Wendy) of Boreham Wood, Herts, looks rightly chuffed with his award.
The event is sponsored by commercial vehicle insurance brokers Jenson Dickens.
Tony, a driver for Golden West Foods in Hemel Hempstead, Herts, was chosen because of his outstanding work record and for the time he devotes to charity work. The award presentation was made last month at the Commercial Vehide Show at the NEC near Birmingham.
The first year of the competition has got off to a cracking start. As well as the glory, Tony wins the holiday of his choice up to a value of £2,500.
The second prize went to Andy figliuzzi, who wins a digital TV package worth £500. Andy drives for Bibby Distribution Services and was selected because, along with a glowing report from his employer, he had also shown consider able bravery when dealing with a burning truck which had been involved in an accident.
Three runners-up each received £200 Road-Pro vouchers.
Congratulations to all concerned, especially Tony, who is no doubt at this moment scanning the travel brochures deciding on which beach he would prefer to sip cocktails at sunset (Foden the dog and I always enjoy a week at Eastbourne; Andy will doubtless jet off to somewhere more exotic).
