Executives will get the chance to quiz the Minster of Transport on the Government’s opinion of the fleet industry and its handling of the UK’s transport network at this year’s Fleet News Challenge, Change and the Customer conference, held in association with the British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association (BVRLA).

Dr Stephen Ladyman MP will speak on Government transport policy at the event on November 2 at the Hilton London Metropole.

Alongside Ladyman will be other speakers from the fleet industry who will discuss current issues, the future of the industry and how to deliver service excellence.

They include Stephen Joseph, executive director, Transport 2000, Tony Bosworth, senior transport campaigner, Friends of the Earth, and John Kiff, director, International Car Distribution Programme. The event, aimed at leasing, manufacturer and fleet suppliers, will be hosted once again by the inimitable BBC broadcaster Huw Edwards.
