AN event specifically for female fleet managers was organised for a third year by Hitachi Capital at Hoar Cross Hall spa resort in Staffordshire.

About 20 women (pictured left) enjoyed the spa experience day, sponsored by Honda, which included presentations on wholelife costs by Hitachi Capital and on the new Civic by Honda as well as opportunities for a spot of pampering.

Laura Martin, marketing executive at Hitachi Capital, said: ‘This is our second ladies’ day at Hoar Cross Hall – last year’s was at Champneys for people living in the south. We felt there were lots of events organised for men within the fleet industry that might not appeal to women and the popularity of these events shows there was a need for them.’
