In addition to the CM silver salver, the FTA has generously contributed a trophy which will go to the best FTA entrant. Class E is open to all own account operators.
The judges will be looking for the livery which, in their opinion, makes the best use of The space available to project the company image, -advertisethe product and blend with the working environment. This could be the most exciting class yet.
It is open to all shapes and sizes of fleets, from the High Street dry cleaner to the national supermarket chains, It includes vans and tippers, platforms, tanks and boxes indeed there is no body which is excluded.
