Association of Fleet Professionals unveils new working group
The Association of Fleet Professionals is launching a new international fleet working group for UK vehicle operators managing international fleets.
The working group’s objective is to support fleet managers with responsibility for vehicles operated outside the UK by improving understanding of legal, financial, and operational differences between countries through knowledge sharing, and collaboration.
An inaugural meeting has already been held with an online forum due to take place on Tuesday, 20 October.
AFP board director Julie Summerell has been elected chair and said: “Over time, it’s become clear there is a cohort of UK fleet managers with international fleet responsibilities within the AFP who would benefit from their own network.
“We’re aiming to explore new ways of supporting these fleet managers. The WhatsApp group, online forum and meetings will provide regular discourse but we’re also investigating formal training through the AFP Fleet Academy.
“Also, the AFP intends to work closely with European and global fleet associations to strengthen support for international fleet managers, promoting best practice and greater cross-border collaboration across the fleet sector.”
