Ritchie Wilson is Voted Irish Driver of the Year

Richie Wilson from Henderson Wholesale Ltd has been voted Irish Driver of the Year at the annual Export & Freight Transport & Logistics Awards.

The prestigious title, sponsored by Europa General, was handed over at a glittering ceremony at the Ramada Hotel in Belfast. 

Ritchie came out top after Chief Testing Instructor Ronnie McCabe from Transport Training Services (TTS) put all the candidates through their paces over an identical 15 mile course, which incorporated varying road conditions with some particularly tight sections. They were also asked to demonstrate their reversing skills.

The judges said the overall standard of driving was excellent with only seven percentage points separating the top six contestants, while the vehicles presented for test were impeccably turned out and were a credit to the industry.

Says a company spokesman: “Ritchie works hard in reaching both personal and company goals while offering customers high levels of service, resulting in him being a popular team member with colleagues and customers alike.”

Congratulations to Ritchie and Henderson Wholesale Ltd.

Europa General is excited to announce that from 1st August 2011 we can offer Contractors All Risks Insurance alongside our existing Employers & Public Liability product lines.
