AFP conference to focus on rising importance of fleet managers

The growing profile of the fleet manager will be the central theme of this year’s Association of Fleet Professionals (AFP) annual conference.

The event will take place on 7 May at the British Motor Museum, Gaydon. Sponsored by Enterprise Mobility and Ayvens, it will feature speakers and panels covering topics including keeping a fleet compliant, driving change, data-driven decisions, what’s new in legislation and coming over the next 18 months, and fleet roles for the future.

There will also be a keynote speech from the Office for Zero Emissions Vehicles, and an AFP Academy awards ceremony celebrating members who have gained accreditations from the industry training body during the last year.

AFP chair Paul Hollick said: “This is our fourth conference since the merger of ACFO and the ICFM, and the event has become widely recognised as one of the highlights of the fleet industry calendar, tackling the issues of the moment in an informed and practical manner.

“This year we’re aiming to make the conference better than ever. Crucially, we’ll be recognising the increasing role of the fleet manager at this unprecedented moment of change for vehicle operators, showing how our members play an essential position in some of the most important aspects of corporate life.

“Also, we’d like to thank Enterprise Mobility and Ayvens for their sponsorship. Support of this kind is what makes events such as the AFP conference possible, and we’re very grateful for their involvement.”
