Stuart Lovatt, chair of TyreSafe, has been recognised with the Outstanding Contribution to Road Safety Award for 2025 at the ProjectEDWARD Parliamentary Reception held at the House of Commons.

The prestigious event, which took place yesterday, was sponsored by Andy MacNae MP and jointly organised with the Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety (PACTS).

Presenting the award, ProjectEDWARD founder James Luckhurst praised Lovatt's dedication to the cause, stating: "Our final award goes to someone who has devoted his career to saving lives on our roads, combining strategic leadership with an unwavering passion for safer journeys for all. He has championed the simple, powerful message that good tyres are fundamental to road safety. His energy has helped put tyre safety firmly on the national agenda and driven real change in driver behaviour."

TyreSafe Chair Stuart Lovatt, Operations Director Michael Bourne and Trustee Tony Crook attended the ProjectEDWARD parliamentary reception, joining leading voices from across the tyre and wider road safety community. They are pictured here with Sophie Lyden (multi-award-winning tyre and vehicle safety advocate), Rachel Johnson (Micheldever Tyre Services), and Pete Moldin and Helen Roe (Bridgestone EMEA).

Lovatt has spent more than two decades working to improve road safety across the UK. His distinguished career includes serving as Strategic Road Safety Lead at National Highways, where he played a key role in shaping national safety policy. He has also contributed to influential national safety boards including RoSPA and PACTS, and has served as a long-standing judge for the Prince Michael International Road Safety Awards.

The award recognises not only Lovatt's exceptional contribution to the industry and his unwavering commitment to saving lives on Britain's roads, but also his continued support for ProjectEDWARD and its partners since the initiative's inception a decade ago.

Through his work with TyreSafe, Lovatt has been instrumental in raising awareness of the critical importance of tyre maintenance and its impact on road safety, helping to educate drivers across the country about the vital role that proper tyre care plays in preventing accidents and saving lives.
