Public sector fleets: why you should attend next month’s CCIA

Seminars and a discussion around the biggest challenges facing public sector fleets will take centre stage in the dedicated Public Sector Fleet Zone at this year’s Company Car in Action event.

From tackling grey fleet management through salary sacrifice schemes to navigating the latest changes in procurement rules, the morning session will feature a packed schedule of expert-led seminars, interactive roundtables, and exclusive networking opportunities.

Company Car in Action, held at UTAC Millbrook Proving Ground in Bedfordshire on June 11 and 12, offers fleet decision-makers the opportunity to test drive more than 300 of the latest electric cars and vans.

Sponsored by BYD, the Public Sector Fleet Zone is designed to equip public sector fleet professionals with the knowledge and solutions they need to meet today's challenges – leaving the afternoon free to explore and test drive the newest vehicles on offer. Public sector fleet managers can also attend on day one of the event.

In addition to valuable content, the zone also offers a chance to connect with peers over a complimentary breakfast and lunch, creating a truly collaborative and insightful experience.
