Understanding how to run an efficient and effective fleet just got easier

Fleet operators are being advised that they only have one week left to secure their place at the annual Fleet News Congress, sponsored by Volvo Car UK, and being held on Tuesday 15 October at the Heritage Motor Centre, Gaydon.

The Congress allows fleet operators to create their own bespoke day of best practice insight by allowing you to cherry pick the sessions most relevant to your business.

A combination of expert speakers and a choice of nine breakout seminars will provide a flexible format for getting the most out of the event.
