LEADING fleet manager Simon Boggis has joined the host of industry experts set to speak at the Automotive Congress Europe in Amsterdam this month. The group fleet procurement manager for TNT UK and Eire will be giving a buyer's view of pan-European leasing, including the tax and legal perspectives and the opportunities for finding common ground across national boundaries and recognising national peculiarities.

Boggis joins experts such as David Kemp, vice-president and European director of ABN AMRO Bank, who will look at how the consolidation of the EMU impacts on the rental and leasing industry, Francois Boulard, managing director of Lease Plan, discussing pan-European leasing and Richard Plummer, UK corporate travel manager of Glaxo Wellcome, who will give his views on how well rental companies are meeting the demands of pan-European fleets.
