Tom Bradshaw, a fleet administrator at Peugeot & Hyundai Banbury, received the title in the Peugeot Division at the Vertu Masters Awards, which honours the highest-performing non-management staff across the Group.

Mr Bradshaw, who oversees thousands of fleet transport movements, was praised for his attention to detail and dedication, with the company describing him as an invaluable member of the business.

He said: “I am really pleased to receive this award.
