MOTORVATE plans to expand its fleet management consultant panel as the Government prepares to announce increased funding for agencies offering advice to fleets seriously considering environmentally friendly transport. The panel has five members and expects another five to join. The 10 advisers will have around 30 days' work annually, depending on membership size, offering advice to firms.

The panel's existing members are Fleet Audits' Stewart Whyte and Chris Chandler, consultants Malcolm Dungworth and Katherine Robinson, and Fuel Wise's Richard Bungey.
