This man from Woodmansterne could just be the best van driver in the country.

Jon Whitehead, who works for SES Water, has made the final of the What Van? 2018 Awards in the Fleet Driver of the Year category.

He will now attend the awards in London on December 13 at The Brewery, near the Barbican Centre.

Jon was recognised as one of the nation’s smoothest, safest and most efficient fleet drivers partly in thanks to ‘Lightfoot’ an innovative technology that helps drivers be more efficient, less stressed and more aware of their driving style.

He said: “Lightfoot has encouraged me to drive safely and smoothly, making me a lot more environmentally conscious.

“This has aided me in progressively improving my driving style to improve safety on our roads whilst helping the environment.”

He was also commended by his manager for his work ethic and general attitude.
