I am eager to bring my expertise to the AFP Board. My ambition is to positively challenge the AFP’s approach based on a background of disruptive innovation in technology and go-to-market strategy, driving the association into the next wave of industry advancement.
As Associate Vice President, EMEA at Geotab, I leverage global data insights from millions of vehicles, including extensive UK fleet experience. This provides an understanding of challenges facing AFP members: rising costs, electrification, safety, and ESG demands. My focus is translating complex analytics and best practices globally into practical strategies for efficiency and sustainability, relevant to the AFP’s mission to support and educate UK fleet professionals.
My leadership empowers diverse organisations using data for impactful improvements. I have experience helping fleets navigate large-scale EV adoption (addressing charging/range concerns), achieve significant cost savings via fuel/CO2 and idling reduction, enhance driver safety (reducing incidents/insurance pressures), and optimising performance. Examples like Milk & More (21% speeding reduction, 19% EV range increase) and United Utilities (35% fuel economy increase, 26% emissions reduction) provide insights pertinent to Board strategy and member support.
I actively engage with industry challenges via speaking, moderating panels, and participating in UK roundtables. I drive Geotab to contribute data-driven insights on overcoming electrification barriers (infrastructure, ZEV mandate), enhancing safety culture and controlling TCO– key areas where the AFP provides guidance and shapes industry direction.
My proven ability delivering measurable results and commitment to advancing best practices via innovation ensure I can contribute meaningfully to the AFP Board.
I have worked across a number of sectors in transport and fleet management for over 40 years. At Speedy Hire, I have pioneered the use of new transport technology in significantly enhancing safety and creating the hire sector’s largest electric and hybrid fleet. I feature in the GreenFleet top 100 Most Influential list and was named Fleet Manager of the Year at the Fleet News Awards in 2024.
I am currently the Fleet & Logistics director at Speedy Hire.
I am passionate about fleet and enjoy helping people that want to start in this industry.
I have also won the Green Fleet, Fleet manager of the year on two occasions 2022 and 2024.
I recently took part in the AFP webinar, and regularly take part in the Fleet News at 10 webinars. I am also a member of the Fleet 200 for fleet news.
I feel I have a lot to offer the AFP members and would love to be involved.
I would like to be considered for the role of board member at The AFP.
I think I can provide The AFP a unique proposition as my application is not as a fleet operator, but as a senior leader within a large fleet retail dealer group; Group 1 Automotive responsible for delivery over 35,000 annual fleet registrations.
I have served in various roles inside an FN15 leasing company for 10 years and for the last 11, creating long-lasting relationships and managing the day-to-day operational service delivery to our FN50 partners as a preferred retailer plus running a key premium brand and previously sitting on an OEM business development group (BDG).
I have led and continue to lead in demanding roles where we continuously adapt, learn, re-group, navigate and look to deliver a great service in a turbulent sector. I am old enough to give sound insights but young enough embrace new ideas and pursue change, and for these reasons I believe to be a good-fit to further add value and enhance the AFP’ reputation, presence and growth potential.
Lastly, I would like to give back and as an early supporter of what was the ICFM, would like to offer The AFP the benefit of 20+ years of knowledge and experience inside the fleet sector.
With over 30 years leasing and 33 years industry experience, I am currently specialising in the telecommunications and facilities management sectors within Lex Autolease working alongside 1000+ fleets with regards to outsourced solutions and asset management.
I am passionate about delivering value for customers and bring my fleet and sector knowledge to develop clear and coherent fleet strategies. I am responsible for implementing unique fleet policies and delivering the specification of requirements within agreed timescales.
My current key responsibilities are, and not limited to
I have been the recipient of awards within Lex Autolease and also the FN50 and individual customer supplier awards during my time.
I am focused on development and growth, both personally and of my wider team. I am an internal mentor for Lloyds Banking Group and also hold a Board Trustee position within a charity supporting re-engagement into the community for people who have previously had drug or drink addictions.
As the Assistant Director of Corporate Fleet, Transport & Accessible Community Transport at Islington Council, I am committed to advancing the standards and practices within the fleet industry, and I believe my experience aligns well with the goals of the AFP.
With over six years of experience in fleet management and over 20 years within the Public Sector, I have successfully overseen the fleet operations of Islington Council’s corporate fleet, focusing on efficiency, sustainability, decarbonisation, and compliance. My role involves implementing innovative solutions to enhance fleet performance while ensuring we meet our environmental and net zero targets. I have a strong track record of collaborating with various stakeholders to drive improvements and foster a culture of safety and responsibility within our industry.
I am eager to take my involvement with The AFP to the next level because I am passionate about making a meaningful impact in the fleet sector. I believe that by working together, we can address the pressing challenges we face, such as the transition to greener technologies, increased innovation, and the need for enhanced safety measures. Joining the board would allow me to contribute to these discussions and advocate for the interests of fleet operators across the UK.
I bring a wealth of knowledge from my experience in the public sector, which I believe will provide valuable insights to the board. My strong leadership skills and ability to engage with diverse groups will help foster collaboration and drive initiatives that benefit all members. I am committed to supporting The AFP’s mission and ensuring that we continue to elevate the standards of the fleet industry.
I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to the AFP and work alongside fellow board members to drive positive change within our industry.
My career in the fleet industry started back in 2003 at Inchcape Fleet Solutions, where I worked my way up in the business starting as Sales Support Executive and finishing up as Head of Sales & Account Management – reporting directly into the Managing Director. I had a number of notable successes in that period including developing and launching new products and new successful sales channels.
From there, I went across to Leasedrive to head up their new business function and to support their efforts to attract private equity investment, which we did within 2 years of my arrival, selling for a much higher multiple than previously anticipated following the new business success we had.
Following the merger with Zenith, I left Leasedrive and worked for Arval as Head of Corporate Sales, where I successfully designed and implemented their salary sacrifice offering, at the same time as working through the acquisition of GE Fleet in the UK and delivering their highest UK fleet.
I left Arval after 2 years to join SG Fleet as they embarked on their mission in the UK to create a disruptor in the market – I joined in 2016 as employee number 13 and have grown the business both organically and by acquisition to become a real force in that mid FN50 section, as a matter of fact in the past 2 years, no leasing company has won more awards than SG Fleet in the UK.
Outside of my work with SG Fleet, I am also a non-exec director of Hampshire FA and am on the final stage of the Chartered Director programme with the Institute of Directors.
My reason for wanting to join the AFP Board is that I believe I can help support the great work that is being done by the current board with my experience in the industry over the past 20+ years.
I have spent many years in the motor trade, starting in cars as a customer meet and greet, working my way up the ladder to management. I then moved into light commercial vehicles, starting in sales and progressing to fleet sales executive and sales controller. Next, I moved into Heavy goods vehicle sales again, working my way to sales management and managing four sales sites.
I then had the urge to own my own company, so I started with a used van doing vehicle reconditioning. I quickly moved to a unit and a van, where I regularly worked on all sorts of vehicles. All the way along my motor trade journey, I have kept up to date with regulatory and compliance needs, also dealing with funding and rental schemes.
Having learnt so much about the industry, I felt it was time to share my knowledge, and the best way for me to do this was to write a book or move into fleet management, which is what I enjoy doing currently. (One day I might write the book too).
I would be keen to become a board member to help drive the Association of Fleet Professionals’ growth and help others on a similar journey. There are lots of twists and turns in the industry, from changes in legislation to innovative vehicles, monitoring and beyond.
The list is ever changing, and Associations like the AFP bring like-minded people together to solve problems in our demanding roles. We all can benefit from some support from like-minded colleagues at some point in our careers. I am knowledgeable, I may not have all the answers, but I sure will find it!
My name is Colin Goodchild, Head of Direct Sales (Corporate) at Leasys UK, I am based centrally in the UK between Bedford & Milton Keynes. My career for the last 25 years has been with automotive Fleet, initially with Vauxhall, where I built and led the Sales Support team. I have moved on to lead sales teams in True Fleet and Rental channels. The last 5 years had been spent with automotive finance, working with Free2move Lease and Leasys.
On a personal level I have held a position as a school governor, and I am a keen “Park Runner” aiming to hit 250 5Km runs soon.
I continually encourage and coach those around me to be the best they can be, recently winning a company award for “Consistently mentoring, supporting and developing colleagues”
I am focused on business improvement and coaching for success, and feel I can use my skills, network of contacts and knowledge of the market to help the Association of Fleet Professions support those within the industry.
It’s time for me to start giving back to the wider industry, and I would value an opportunity to work with the AFP.
I am applying to join the Association of Fleet Professionals (AFP) Board to contribute meaningfully to the continued development of our industry and to help shape the future of fleet management at a time of great change.
With 36 years of experience in fleet operations as a fleet and transport manager specialising in compliance, I bring a practical perspective to all situations across the private and public sectors.
My professional background includes leading initiatives that have improved fleet efficiency, reduced emissions, and implemented emerging technologies. I am passionate about professional development, having mentored numerous new entrants into the industry and championed internal training programs.
I believe this aligns well with the AFP’s mission to support continuous improvement and knowledge sharing.
If selected, I will contribute actively by sharing insights, helping to develop policy and guidance documents, and supporting events and initiatives that benefit AFP members. I am particularly interested in helping fleets transition to net-zero and ensuring that the AFP remains a leading voice on sustainability, innovation, and operational excellence.
As a Board member, I will bring energy, collaboration, and a commitment to representing the public sector within AFP.
I’ve always had a passion for the automotive world—it all started with a Ladybird book of car badges when I was five. My career began managing a fleet of 350 vehicles at an NHS Trust, which gave me a solid grounding in fleet operations. From there, I made the leap into business development at a small leasing company that eventually became Lex. I spent 18 years there, gaining valuable experience in both the public sector, commercial vehicles, and vehicle funding.
A chance conversation at the Fleet News Awards in 2014 led me to Alphabet, where I took on the role of Head of Public Sector. That’s where my interest in EVs really took off, thanks to their partnership with BMW. After nearly five years, I joined the AA to help expand their services beyond roadside assistance, specifically building the back-office support for charge point operators.
Wanting to dive deeper into the EV space, I joined Vital EV Solutions as a Senior BDM and was promoted to BD Director after 12 months, however, after 18 months, I found myself missing the fleet world, which brought me to my current role as Key Account Director at i247.
With over 30 years in fleet and mobility, I bring hands-on experience across public and private sectors, deep EV expertise, and a track record of driving innovation. My background in leasing, fleet management, and electrification positions me to offer strategic insight, industry credibility, and practical knowledge to support the AFP’s mission and the evolving needs of its members.
With over 40 years of experience in the transport industry, I bring a wealth of knowledge, hands-on expertise, and a deep understanding of fleet operations and compliance. From the early days of manual records to today’s digital systems, I’ve adapted, led, and delivered across every era of industry evolution.
My career has been built on maintaining exceptional standards in transport compliance, managing drivers and their safety. Supporting teams through regulatory change, and fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement. I’ve worked closely with drivers, managers, and compliance teams — always bridging the gap between policy and practice.
I am also deeply passionate about road safety and the integration of advanced safety features in vehicles. I believe that technology, when combined with strong compliance and well-informed drivers, is key to reducing risk and saving lives on our roads. Whether it’s championing new safety systems or raising awareness around driver behaviour, I’m committed to promoting a safer future for everyone in the industry.
I don’t just know the rules — I understand how to apply them effectively and fairly. I’ve seen firsthand what works and what doesn’t, and I bring both historical context and forward-thinking insight to the table.
Joining the Association of Fleet Professionals would allow me to share this experience, influence best practice, and contribute to an industry I’ve been proud to serve — and protect — for over four decades.
Why me?
With a career in the fleet industry spanning nearly four decades, I bring a wealth of experience across sales, operations, and leadership roles. Right from my early days at Trimoco Vehicle Leasing—to becoming the first female director within the Hartwell Group —to co-founding Activa Contracts (the English Brand of Arnold Clark Vehicle Management) and growing it into a 7,500-vehicle fleet, to leading regional sales at Ogilvie Fleet, I’ve consistently driven business growth, built high-performing teams, and forged lasting industry, customer and supplier relationships. Throughout my career I have continued to work on the front-line both directly with prospects, customers and supporting my teams to do the same – working with key fleet decision makers, at all levels, to identify pinch points and implement the optimum solutions for their fleet, giving me a deep understanding of customer and prospect expectations and the challenges they face
My strength lies in understanding the evolving needs of fleets—commercial and car alike—and advising on key areas such as risk management, funding strategies, EV transition, and operational efficiencies. I am a collaborative leader, active listener, and passionate advocate for mentoring and talent development.
The fleet sector continues to face rapid change and complex challenges, from economic pressures to sustainability mandates. I believe my history of navigating such changes equips me to add real value to the AFP board. I am particularly committed to promoting diversity within our industry. Having entered the fleet world when it was heavily male-dominated, I would like to help champion greater visibility, confidence, and career progression for both younger and female fleet professionals, while encouraging the next generation to view our sector as an exciting and rewarding career path.
My vision is to support AFP in being a progressive, inclusive, and future-ready voice for our industry. I would be honoured to contribute my insight, energy, and passion to the board.
More about me
A personable and results-driven fleet professional with nearly four decades of industry experience, spanning leadership roles in sales, marketing, and operations. Currently Director of Sales at Ogilvie Fleet, joining in 2015 to establish and lead the southern sales function, which has successfully grown from a standing start to securing over 150 new clients, and significantly increased the company’s market presence, particularly in commercial and specialist vehicle sectors alongside solus supply outsourced arrangements.
As a founding member of Activa Contracts (The English Contract Hire Brand of Arnold Clark) and serving as Sales & Marketing Director the business grew from launch to a fleet of 7,500 vehicles, with leadership skills extending across multiple departments, driving innovation in customer experience, CRM development, and fully outsourced fleet solutions.
My career in fleet began at Trimoco Leasing in 1986, firstly in sales support and then working up to front facing sales roles, and Senior Management – eventually becoming the youngest and first female director within the Hartwell Group, who took over Trimoco in 1992.
A strong focus on relationship building with prospects, clients, suppliers, and peers and understanding the pinch points within all areas of fleet operators and operations has resulted in a successful career in business development, client retention and operational integration and has developed some long-standing friendships along the way.
As a Mental Health First Aider, I am an enthusiastic advocate for workplace wellbeing. Outside of work, I am an England Athletics qualified running coach, member of the local running club, marathon runner, and am passionate about wellbeing and fitness. I am also a lifelong supporter of Luton Town FC travelling to games both home and away.
I am an accomplished fleet professional with over 20 years of experience. As Head of Fleet for Platform Housing Group, I lead a complex fleet operation with a focus on efficiency, safety, and sustainability. My contributions to the sector were recently recognised when I was named Fleet Manager of the Year 2025.
I have demonstrated a deep commitment to professional development and industry progression. I currently serve as a trainer for the Association of Fleet Professionals (AFP), delivering the Strategic Fleet Vehicle Management course, where I get the opportunity to develop others and share expertise with the next generation of fleet leaders.
I am chairing a new fleet apprenticeship standard in conjunction with the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IfATE), where I am helping to shape a new apprenticeship standard for fleet management. My passion lies in creating strong foundations for future professionals, ensuring they are equipped with the knowledge and skills to thrive in a rapidly evolving industry.
I am applying to join the AFP Board to contribute more strategically to the development of our profession. With over two decades of experience across both sides of the fleet industry, I bring a well-rounded perspective, practical leadership, and a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing fleet professionals today.
My current work with IfATE and AFP training reflects my passion for education and talent development. I want to use my position on the Board to further champion initiatives that build future-ready fleet professionals, ensuring our industry remains progressive, inclusive, and sustainable.
I have been with Nexus for almost 20 years. During this time, I’ve worked in several roles, including Financial Controller and Operations Director, and as part of our Management Board.
My knowledge of the industry and my varied experience in different roles give me a complete view of the market. Working with some of the biggest fleets in the UK, such as Royal Mail, and supporting many LeaseCos, enables a rounded view of the industry.
As a senior figure for the largest vehicle rental broker in the UK/Northern Ireland, I support over 500 clients. They can access more than 500,000 vehicles from our network of over 300 suppliers.
My knowledge of the industry and our client base would benefit the AFP, as we can bring a well-rounded view and perspective of the supply chain, as well as clients.
Nexus is constantly evolving its business. It explores new markets, the latest being plant hire, and new geographical areas to widen the scope of its mobility offering.
With my rounded view of the fleet industry supporting clients with new legislation, supporting the EV transition, and utilising tech and data, I know I can offer a lot to the AFP.
In my spare time, I enjoy playing golf and watching motorsport. I have a keen interest in vehicles and stay informed about the newest technology updates, in particular with regard to new fuel technologies and connected vehicles.
My Name is Nick Evans. I have worked in and around the motor industry and engineering for most of my professional life. After working in the family engineering business for many years, I became involved with fleet vehicles working with the Renault group, gaining first-hand insight to the fleet and multi-vehicle industry. More recently I have dedicated my time to growing my company, DriveCommander and more recently, Driven2Distraction.
DriveCommander is a software based solution that prevents drivers using their phones illegally while driving, through managed access applications, rather than simple blocking. The system can be used by all drivers, but is a commercial solution for any company that has drivers on the road, in any number or capacity.
More recently, I have set up a CIC called Driven2Distraction that aims to deliver safety programmes and training to drivers to highlight the dangers of distracted driving. Primarily, this is for younger and new drivers, but it will also be essential training for any company with drivers on the road. We also have as a director, Junior Sullivan, a serving Army Officer whose parents were tragically killed by a lorry driver who was using his phone and hit their car.
Also, my own experience with distracted driving stems from an incident where my son and his mother were hit by an HGV on the M1 and again, the driver was using his phone at the time. Luckily, they were unharmed, but the outcome could have been very different. I am also a part-time racing driver and take part in events on circuits across the UK and mainland Europe.
I would like to apply to be on the AFP board to bring my many years of experience in the industry. My whole working life focus is on safety on our roads, and I will do anything I can to help bring about a safer driving environment. I have worked with fleets in the past and am regularly in contact with several fleet management companies in an effort to improve their safety systems.
Having previously worked in automotive manufacturing, Nissan and then car seat production, I’ve spent the last 21 years in supply chain and fleet management.
Most of my engagements have been long-term as a hands on ‘Fleet Manager’, in various sectors, including retail and distribution, manufacturing, FM and housing associations.
Recent engagements include;
• Refrigeration engineering, c.220 cars + vans
• Chemical manufacturers, c.350 cars across EMEA
• Plumbing merchants, c.500 cars
Each role varies widely, but have included full strategic reviews as well as day fleet management and everything else in between, including the planning and implementation of EV transitions of both car and LCV fleets. Typical fleet sizes have ranged from 130 to 500, although one recent fleet was a mixed fleet of 500 cars, 600 LCVs and 100 HGV’s. With a strong focus on managing fleet costs across often complex and ever-changing operational needs, I have demonstrated significant cost savings across all aspects of running a fleet.
I have always recognised the need to engage with all stakeholders within the business, even more in recent time recognising the integral role and contribution that fleet managers can have on an organisations carbon emissions and wider ESG implications.
Being able to engage with the various stakeholders across the business, including all drivers, in a knowledgeable manner but with empathy when appropriate, has ensured that EV transition plans have been achieved both within budget and at pace.
Shared learning can be applied and leveraged across the various fleets that I manage.
Reasons for applying and what I believe I would add to the AFP board.
I have been a Fellow of the association since 2014, after completing the ICFM Diploma.
I see myself firmly in the roll of a fleet operator. The fact that I manage multiple fleets for various organisations that do not typically have a dedicated fleet manager, allows me the privilege and benefit of having a very wide lens on the different perspectives and challenges that each individual fleet bring.
Throughout my association membership, I have always attended as many association events as possible. I really appreciate the benefits that continuous professional development can bring – I have attended most of the available training events and promote these along with AFP membership to a wider audience.
More recently I have joined a number of committees and hopefully demonstrate that I have an inquisitive mind and add value to the wider conversation.
I have also demonstrated my willingness to get involved in a wider capacity, eg: supporting the shared depot charging project etc…
I feel my independence and wide perspective of the various challenges that different organisations and sectors might have running their fleets, might allow me to bring a different view and value to the board and contribute actively and effectively for the benefit of the wider membership.
I am a results driven Director with a proven history of working across the automotive / leasing industry. I hold and have held senior positions in the organisations I have worked for. I am skilled in negotiation, business planning, vehicle leasing, operations management, new business development, residual value setting and remarketing.
I have spent 27 years in the fleet industry, starting first at Zenith. I spent 15 years there and was part of the team that bought the business from the founders with the first of what would go on to be 4 management buyouts funded by private equity. We grew the fleet from 2,000 to 30,000 vehicles between 1998 and 2013. Profit before tax consequently grew from £250k in FY1999 to £11m in FY2013.
I then went on to build my own successful leasing and rental business, Meridian Vehicle Solutions Ltd. We offered flexible long-term rental and leasing solutions, with no fixed-term contracts, no termination penalties and the ability to swap or upgrade at agreed intervals. We evolved by creating a multi-site retail business to expand the business model from remarketing to the trade to providing a 5-star retail experience for private buyers.
With such a broad experience, I am keen to give something back to the industry I love and the people who work in it. I am passionate about supporting professional development and competence within the fleet sector and promoting best practices that align with AFP’s mission to enhance fleet excellence.
I believe I can bring valuable insight and experience across so many disciplines through having run and led my own business. I am now Sales Director at FMG, where we look after almost a million drivers and vehicles, and support most of the fleet industry.
I am a seasoned Motor Risk Consultant at AXA XL, bringing over 15 years of experience in transport risk management and fleet operations. My background in fleet risk assessment, telematics integration, and regulatory compliance has given me a deep understanding of the challenges that fleet managers face today.
Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to enhancing road safety and reducing collisions. I have successfully implemented strategies that lower claims costs and improve overall fleet performance. My expertise uniquely positions me to bridge the gap between the insurance and fleet sectors, facilitating better communication and collaboration among stakeholders.
As I apply for a position on the AFP board, I am passionate about raising industry standards and addressing key issues affecting fleet management. I believe my insights into risk management and commitment to promoting safety will significantly contribute to the AFP’s mission.
I am currently on the working committees as a member with Dft and Thatcham. I am eager to collaborate with fellow board members to launch new initiatives that empower fleet managers and advocate for best practices within the industry.
By joining the AFP board, I aim to make a positive impact, driving meaningful change and supporting industry professionals in navigating the evolving landscape of fleet/risk management. My vision is to create a safer, more efficient future for the fleet industry.
I am a highly experienced Fleet Director, with over 25 years’ experience, specialising in operations management, procurement, project management, business integration and decarbonisation solutions.
I am responsible for all aspects of a large, complex fleet of c4,000 vehicles – comprising Cars, Vans, and a diverse range of specialist Large Goods Vehicles – working from 200+ locations across the UK, in a variety of sectors including Roads, Rail, Defence, Justice and Facilities Management.
Reasons for applying
My 25+ years fleet management experience (and prior 10 years commercial management) has given me a very broad understanding of the requirements of operating large complex vehicle fleets across multiple industry sectors, in all parts of the UK.
I already work closely with Logistics UK – having participated in a number of Panel Debates, and Round Table Discussions (including with the Transport Select Committee), and providing input to policy reviews. However, I am very interested in using my experience to play a bigger role in helping to shape and influence future policy direction, ensuring that policies reflect and accommodate the needs of fleet operators.
I am also passionate about decarbonisation, having made significant progress with the decarbonisation of our own fleet. 90% of our company car fleet and 10% of our LCV fleet is already fully electric (on course to be at 30% by end of 2025), together with the depot infrastructure to support the transition. I am keen to working to dispel the myths that surround decarbonisation, and to work with others to help each other through the challenges ahead of us.
I am the Head of Commercial Data and Innovation at Ayvens. With a career rooted in commercial vehicle consultancy, I have developed a reputation for turning complex data into real-world insights that drive strategic fleet decisions. I am also a Fellow of the Association of Fleet Professionals, a passionate industry advocate, and a regular contributor to public conversations on fleet electrification, cost optimisation, and innovation.
I’m applying to join the AFP Board to help drive meaningful, practical change in our industry — grounded in data, collaboration, and real operator needs.
As someone who has grown through consultancy and now leads innovation and data strategy at Ayvens, I see daily the challenges fleet managers face — from ZEV compliance and vehicle suitability to commercial pressures and infrastructure gaps. I bring a unique blend of hands-on experience, data fluency, and strategic thinking that I believe would complement the board.
I’m particularly passionate about raising standards in commercial vehicle insights, supporting SMEs with practical tools, and using platforms like AFP to share best practices across the sector. My recent work includes developing TCO+ — a toolset helping operators make better, more transparent decisions — and leading national EV trials in partnership with public and private sector fleets.
I’m enthusiastic, collaborative, and committed to helping AFP shape the next chapter of fleet in the UK.
Thank you!!!
I would like to put myself forward for consideration as a board member of the AFP, I consider myself to be suitably qualified for this role, due to my experience and knowledge in running a large diverse fleet, managing everything from a small van to a 32t HGV, the knowledge that I gained during this time has stood me in good stead going forward.
I have extensive knowledge and experience, moving into Fleet Management in 2004 where I worked with several leasing companies ensuring the company had the best advantageous deal for the vehicles that were being purchased.
Nine years later and with three major awards under my belt, I made the move to project management, where I have completed the most high-profile project to date of installing 723 EVCP’s at our managed station car parks
I understand the issues facing our fleets today, cost, supply, legislation to name a few as well as all the rules and cabotage requirements we face from Europe.
I have experience in complex vehicle conversions, dealing with unions, Health and safety, Qualified Transport Manager, experience with dealing with Vosa in compliance and Operator’s licence duties, including being named on the operator’s licence.
I believe that I can add value and bring with me a mixture of experience and knowledge which can be passed onto other members for their benefit.
Build awareness of your brand in the car and van fleet sector.
