We are very proud to have been involved in the programme – it’s not only recognition of Masternaut’s achievements to date, but of the whole telematics industry’s potential to shape the UK’s business landscape. The Future Fifty scheme has been invaluable for Masternaut as it expands, innovates and develops its product portfolio and enters new geographic markets.”
