The rise of bogus insurance claims isn’t just a headline issue; it’s a growing operational and financial threat for fleets.
Fraudulent claims now run into hundreds of millions each year, with organised networks deliberately targeting commercial vehicles and lone drivers. For fleet operators, the impact is far wider than a single incident, causing disruption, downtime, administrative burden, and, inevitably, higher insurance premiums.
This webinar provides practical, actionable guidance that moves the conversation from awareness to prevention. Led by Martin Evans, AFP Director and Business Management Consultant at Macani Ltd, and with insights from Peter Milchard, AFP Director and Trainer at AFP Fleet Academy, and Gareth Jones, Group Fleet Compliance Manager at Speedy Hire, the session will discuss:
🔍 How fraudsters operate
🎯 Why fleets are high-value targets
✅ What drivers can do differently tomorrow through increased awareness and training
🛡️ Practical defensive driving behaviours using the AFP’s nine-point protection plan
📹 How fleet managers can reduce exposure and long-term costs through evidence-based tools such as dashcams
At the heart of the session is AFP’s nine-point driver protection plan, acting as a simple, memorable framework fleets can actively deploy.
We hope you can join us!

Join us on Tuesday, 28 April, from 10:00 to 11:00, for an insightful and practical webinar exploring company car tax, salary sacrifice schemes, and the evolving landscape shaping fleet decision-making.
As recent budget changes begin to impact the tax treatment of electric vehicles, a key driver behind the growth of salary sacrifice schemes, this session will unpack what these developments mean for organisations currently running, or considering introducing, a scheme.
Led by AFP Board Director Richard Baird, with expert insights from Harvey Perkins (HRUX) and Matthew Hammond (Altrad UK & Ireland), the webinar will combine key tax updates – including company car tax for BEVs and PHEVs, the current salary sacrifice position, and budget changes – with a real-world perspective from Altrad, covering implementation, benefits and challenges.
The session will also explore the wider implications of these changes, helping fleet professionals adapt their strategies and make informed, future-focused decisions.

The session will uncover the real‑world trends they are seeing across their customer base, including electrification progress, operational challenges, and data‑driven approaches to future strategy.
Designed to be highly interactive, the webinar will include an open Q&A session, giving attendees the opportunity to ask questions directly to Ayvens’ experts.
