Fleet News takes to the road this year with three major events as a prelude to the most dynamic Fleet Show yet, to be held in 2003.

This year Fleet News will host two ride and drive roadshows. The first at Brands Hatch in Kent on April 9 and 10, and the second at Oulton Park in Cheshire on April 30 and May 1.

These new regional roadshows will give fleet decision-makers the opportunity to drive and assess the latest company cars.

The events will also take advantage of the racing circuits' rally stages and off-road driving courses to enable visitors to put their driving skills to the test, while topical seminars and informal advice clinics will make these roadshows even more valuable must-attend events for fleet executives.

Later in the spring, Fleet News is to hold a high-profile two-day spring conference at the International Conference Centre, Birmingham on May 14 and 15.

2003 will see the launch of a new concept for the Fleet Show, known as Fleet News Live.

Full details of these major fleet events will follow soon and be put on Fleet NewsNet as they are announced. If you want more information immediately, contact event director Chris Lester at chris.lester@emap.com.
