MORE fleet managers are being urged to register their interest in applying for places on the first RAC Scholarship Awards scheme - the new £50,000 industry training initiatives supported and funded by the RAC and run in conjunction with the Institute of Car Fleet Management.

Just eight managers have registered and they were among 16 who contacted the ICFM director after the scheme was launched at the Institute's annual members' conference last month. In a bid to encourage further interest the ICFM has this week mailed its 260 'Member' status members with details. The RAC scholarship scheme will run over three years and start next summer.
