Demand for interim fleet managers is set to increase as public and private sector companies grapple with reviewing current company car and van strategies, says Ross Jackson at Fleet Operations.

The company’s managing director believes many organisations are struggling to implement vehicle policy and procedure changes because they do not have the required in-house professional fleet management expertise.

As a result, it is receiving an increasing number of inquiries to take a hands-on fleet management role to deliver change, financial savings and legislative compliance.

Jackson, who has called the company’s interim fleet management service FleetPeople, said: “We can manage fleets remotely or take a position inside a client’s business, but so far most organisations appear to want to have on-site management.”
