An exclusive roundtable exploring the future for fleet sustainability is taking place next month to shed light on latest developments.

Key findings from the event will be made available to support businesses with fleet sustainability strategies

Dorset-based i247 Group, a specialist outsourced fleet management firm, is bringing together key players from across the automotive supply chain to debate how fleets can go further to achieve sustainability, looking beyond the transition of electrification of fleets.

The closed event, which takes place on 12 March at County Hall in London, will see guests debate topics from sector innovation to the effect of autonomous vehicles.

The panel brings together some of the industry’s most influential figures:

• Edmund King, president of the AA
• James Hopkins, managing director, Enso Tyres
• Paul Hollick, chair, Association of Fleet Professionals
• Chris Horbowyj, commercial director, Targa Viasat UK
• Claire Miller, independent advisor, mobility & energy

• Steve Thornton, commercial director, i247 Group
• Les Kerjenski, technical director, i247 Group

A summary report of the key findings will be created following the event and made publicly available by i247 Group to support businesses with their fleet sustainability strategies.

David Legg, director at i247 Group, said the firm is seeing growing interest from fleet customers in broader sustainability initiatives, over and above the move to electric vehicles.

“We saw an opportunity to create a platform to bring together experts from across the supply chain to debate the topic as an industry. The round table promises to provide real insight for fleets on the latest sustainability developments in automotive. We’re delighted with the calibre of the panel and we expect the event to deliver some excellent and groundbreaking output.”
