On being accepted into the Fujitsu “Cool” Driver Program

“When I opened the email I thought I had probably missed out, but then I read it and I was just overwhelmed that I’d been chosen to be part of the Fujitsu “Cool” Driver Program … I just couldn’t believe it and nor could my Dad.  I just had so many emotions going through my head.  It’s an unbelievable opportunity and I am proud to be one of the seven karters who’ve been selected.”
