The Fleet Van Conference and Awards will take place on September 16 at the National Motorcycle Museum, Birmingham.

The event, which is seen as an essential part of the van fleet industry calendar, provides a full day of networking for van fleet decision-makers and their suppliers.

During the day, the Conference will focus on the challenges facing van fleet operators and look at some of the best ideas in the industry that have kept costs under control while still delivering efficient transport services to businesses.

The Conference will be followed in the evening by the van fleet industry’s glittering Awards, which will be especially well deserved this year as fleet managers and their suppliers have been enduring an incredibly tough market, where everyone is being tested by the challenging economic conditions.
