“I am commanded by His Majesty The King to present to you the King’s Award for Enterprise” – so said the Lord Lieutenant of Warwickshire Tim Cox on an official visit to award-winning Warwickshire business runyourfleet as he presented the firm in Henley-in-Arden with its award for innovation.
He was formally presenting the King’s Award to CEO Steve Whitmarsh and the team at Multifleet Vehicle Management, which trades as runyourfleet, in his role representing the King.
Mr Cox and his wife Penny were joined by the High Sheriff of Warwickshire, Mrs Rajvinder Kaur Gill, and representatives of local commerce including Eileen Schofield, President of Solihull Chamber and Kevin Johns Vice President.
runyourfleet was awarded the prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise for innovation in the successful development of its online platform, which enables the business to service a customer base of over 1,200 businesses across the UK, providing fleet management services for more than 32,000 vehicles.
The company was one of 252 organisations nationally to be recognised with a prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise, and just one of 59 businesses to be recognised for innovation.
 
Steve Whitmarsh is CEO and founder of Multifleet Vehicle Management, along with CFO Simon Shiner, who is also a co-founder and part-owner, backed by investment from Forward Group plc.
 
Mr Whitmarsh paid tribute to all the staff at runyourfleet: “This is an award for everyone who works here, and I am immensely proud of the success we have worked together to achieve.”
 
He presented the Lord Lieutenant with a commemorative pin, manufactured in Birmingham by Weston Beamor, before the official party, guests and staff enjoyed a light lunch outside the firm’s offices in Forward House, High Street, Henley-in-Arden in the sunshine to celebrate.
