About the seminar

Local Authority Fleet operations are the essential element in ensuring the continued delivery of front-line Council services. To ensure well run in-house fleet and maintenance services stay ahead of the game, this seminar brings together the elements that influence future success.

Speakers will cover the national picture, the regulatory context, human, financial and legal issues and strategies for maintaining efficient operations. The seminar will also take a look at innovation, the transition to cleaner fuels, self-regulation and ensuring continued efficient delivery of fleet services.

Since the pandemic hit in 2020, Transport services have in the main adapted and continued to deliver high quality services. The economic effects of Covid, Brexit, War in Ukraine, spiralling fuel prices, driver shortages, recruitment difficulties and a race for carbon neutrality have given the industry multiple headaches at the same time. The job of today’s transport manager is more complex than ever.

Thank you again, to our exhibiting sponsors 

 

Since 1986, as recognised specialists in vehicle safety, and members of the Fleet Operators Recognition Scheme (FORS), we’ve served the transport industry. We do this by manufacturing, installing, and supporting innovative safety equipment. This equipment is the key to saving lives and protecting your property and commercial vehicles, often by improving drivers’ all-round vision and awareness. 

Our experienced engineers, talented office team, and innovative design department, enable us to design, develop, manufacture, supply, install, and support tens of thousands of life-saving and property-protecting products – many of them pioneering and patented. We supply products across the UK as well as overseas via international distributors in Europe, North America, Asia, and Africa.

Our business is based on saving lives and protecting your property and vehicles. While doing so, we always do what we can to deliver a personalised service, excellent value, and peace of mind. Above all, we strive constantly to make our roads and workplaces safer. At the same time, we do what we can to protect your reputation – as a business or an individual who buys and operates our vehicle safety solutions.

We keep our skills in-house wherever possible. This helps us control the quality of products and services that we provide. We also manufacture several of the products that we sell. And where we source products, these are from carefully selected and monitored manufacturing partners. And unlike many businesses in vehicle safety, we employ our own dedicated engineers to install and maintain our vehicle safety solutions.

We genuinely care about you, our customer, and understand what you want. We always relate to you in a consultative way, identify emergent trends in vehicle safety and keep developing relevant products and services. These are backed by the kind of ongoing support we’d expect to receive. We never just ‘fit and forget’.
