Moray Council’s Fleet Services team has won a Gold award at the Association for Public Service Excellence (APSE) Scotland Striving for Excellence Awards, which recognise outstanding work and innovation in frontline public services.
The team is responsible for maintaining and managing more than 550 council vehicles and 600 items of plant machinery.
As well as keeping the council’s own fleet on the road, the service also carries out taxi and MOT testing for the public, handles central procurement and stores, and provides driver assessments for taxi and minibus drivers.
Council leader Cllr Kathleen Robertson said winning a Gold award at national level was ‘a real credit to the team’s hard work and dedication,’ adding that the service ‘plays an important role in supporting council operations every day.’
Chief Executive Karen Greaves described the award as ‘well-deserved recognition of the commitment and teamwork within Fleet Services,’ saying she was pleased to see the work acknowledged at a national level.
The APSE awards celebrate excellence and innovation in local government frontline services across the UK, with councils recognised for delivering high quality services and responding positively to challenges facing the sector.
