Fleet operating cost reductions, cutting transport carbon dioxide emissions and at-work driving safety - including analysing the impact of the first prosecution under the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act - are among the issues that will be under the spotlight at seminars organised by experts from Jaama.

Prices for the one-day seminars have been reduced by £80 to £295 (+ VAT) with an additional early bird £50 discount available on places booked before March 31.

More than 700 people have so far attended Jaama’s fleet workshops and the next Fleet Managements Essentials seminars will be held on: Tuesday, May 10 in Brentwood, Thursday May 19 in Slough and Tuesday May 24 at Drayton Manor, Tamworth.

Jaama managing director Jason Francis said: “Our entire seminar programme has proved very popular in the almost seven years we have been running it, particularly with employees who combine fleet responsibility for cars and commercial vehicles with another role in their organisation as well as those who are new to vehicle management.

“The whole area of fleet management can be daunting, especially if you are new to the role or have ‘acquired’ the day-to-day running of the fleet as part of your responsibilities. In addition, we recognise and appreciate that operators of smaller or employee-owned fleets do not always have the luxury of a full time dedicated fleet manager and often new legislation and best practices can be missed.”
