The organisation said it received a huge amount of interest in its education and training programmes, designed to raise the standard in car and van fleet management, and also in its recently launched one-day Fleet Masterclasses aimed at members and non-members alike who wish to update their knowledge or familiarise themselves with hot fleet topics. 

The latter will start in the autumn and will supplement the ICFM’s core competence-based training currently offered to members – leading to the Introductory Certificate, the Certificate and the Diploma in Car Fleet Management – with masterclasses on hot topics of interest and relevance to car and LCV fleet operators, irrespective of their level of fleet experience.

The six new ICFM Fleet Masterclasses are Accident Management, Driving Down Fleet Costs, Duty of Care Management, Fuel Management, Grey Fleet Management and Influencing Driver Behaviour.

According to ICFM chairman, Paul Hollick: “It was the best show we have ever done. There was a real buzz about the stand all day and we received many expressions of interest in joining the Institute and enrolling on our courses.”

Winner of the business card draw to win two vouchers for a premium West End dinner and show (including Miss Saigon, Wicked, Les Misérables, Jersey Boys) to the value of £210 was Eric Bristow, strategic & operational planning manager at Hobart UK.
