Fleet bosses fell foul of spot checks on tyre safety at an industry get-together.

More than 12% were driving cars with at least one dodgy tyre, it was found.

Checks in the car park for this year's Company Car In Action event by Kwik-Fit technicians found 128 vehicles failed out of 1,030.

Kwik-Fit fleet director Simon English said: "Fleet executives should be leading by example and ensuring that the vehicles they drive are in first class condition.

"It is not only their safety but that of other road users which they are jeopardising."

Company Car In Action is an annual product showcase for vehicle manufacturers and fleet executives held in Bedfordshire.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
