LeasePlan has signed up as a business champion of the government-backed Driving for Better Business programme managed by RoadSafe.

LeasePlan will offer speakers on safer driving at conferences and seminars, as well as incorporating road safety details and duty of care responsibilities in its SafePlan programme for customers.

“We’ve worked with a lot of our clients in recent years to help them make their employees as safe as possible when on the road.

"In that time, we’ve developed a great deal of expertise – expertise we’re eager to share,” Sarah Easton, head of product development at LeasePlan, said.

“Working alongside RoadSafe is the perfect way to put that expertise to good use.

"Its Driving for Better Business programme will help keep duty of care at the top of the agenda in boardrooms throughout the UK."
