The event, which has been running for over a decade, brings together fleet managers and suppliers to share best practice in managing road risk, with speakers discussing a variety of safety-related topics such as the protection of vulnerable road users and how best to save money through effective risk management and fleet policies.

This year, the conference also coincides with the 10th anniversary of ARI’s Riskmaster driver risk management programme. Significant investment by the company’s US-based parent organisation from mid-2013 onwards has enabled the product to provide greater visibility of driver risk, through the addition of fully customisable dashboards and real-time data retrieval.

ARI’s managing director Keith Allen commented on Brake’s work to reduce road risk.

“We’re proud to be working with Brake and supporting its fantastic efforts to reduce risks on the roads through events such as the Fleet Safety Conference,” he said. “As a provider of driver risk management services, we believe that we all have a responsibility to ensure that promoting road safety and reducing driver risk are high on everyone’s agenda.”

Sarah Martin, corporate fundraiser for Brake, added: “Support from professional companies is vital in our efforts to keep road safety in focus. We’re grateful to ARI for supporting us as they have done for so many years and look forward to continuing our partnership for many more to come.”
