Roundtable conversations are most beneficial as it allows me to hear from and discuss with other fleet managers what they are doing in specific areas and see if their successes could be replicated in my own fleet.

The opportunity to discuss policy with government and local policymakers would be very beneficial especially if we knew our experience and input was helping to shape future policy.

It’s a great networking opportunity and a chance to stay close to what is happening. Fleet in a lot of organisations is a lonely role.

You have responsibilities but not always support, so it’s a chance to hear from others who share your situation.

It’s great to be part of a very knowledgeable and experienced group of fleet professionals and being able to talk more specifically about the challenges we face.

Also having presentations from associated bodies and case studies from our peers really helps to gain a better understanding of how best to manage our fleet.
