It’s time to make a difference in the fleet industry by voting for those who most deserve it in the annual BusinessCar awards.

Completely decided by the readers of BusinessCar through a secure online voting system, the 2012 awards are your opportunity to reward the products, companies and services that have most helped your business in a year where recovery from the recession seems to have started but is far from complete.

We’re looking for the expert opinion of BusinessCar magazine and www.businesscar.co.uk readers across the headline award categories of Business Car of the Year, Manufacturer of the Year, Service Supplier of the Year and the Green Model of the Year. There are also 11 car categories, covering all areas of the market, and 11 for service suppliers.

Last year, on top of its three headline award victories for the second year running, BMW also took four other categories, with the 3-series, 5-series, BMW X5 and Mini setting a fine example for other carmakers. Audi won three categories in the 2011 awards with the A3, Q5 and R8, while Ford‘s S-max, the VW Touran, the Fiat 500 and Jaguar‘s XJ also featured.

On the service supplier side, the AA grabbed two wins, while big industry names such as Enterprise, Kwik-Fit Fleet and Aviva won their respective categories, thanks to your votes.

But the winning doesn’t have to stop there, as one lucky reader will also receive a prize. There’s a case of champagne up for grabs for someone who gives us their opinions, which should be with you in time for the festive season!

Voting will run from today until 5pm on Friday 18 November, and the fireworks will be saved for January when we’ll announce the winners in BusinessCar‘s annual awards issue extravaganza.
