FLEET IN 2013: Experts give their views

Date: 16 April 2013

Senior fleet figures give their opinions on the previous 12 months and also look forward. Paul Barker talks to the industry

Julie Jenner, chairman, ACFO 

Sum up last year

Fleet operators became increasingly proactive in 'progressing' their fleet operations and are moving away from the retention of the status quo they adopted during the depths of economic gloom.

What was your biggest worry going into it and were you right to worry about it?

The challenge has been, and remains, disjointed Government policy and a lack of understanding of fleet operations in some areas.

What is your biggest opportunity in 2013?

During 2012 ACFO implemented a whole raft of changes that sees it take on a new strategic direction in 2013, particularly targeting employees who are 'part-time' fleet managers in the sense that they also have other responsibilities within their job description. The introduction of webinars, more seminars on key issues and greater use of the internet to help members access the raft of knowledge that is available within ACFO is essential to further expand membership. 

What one piece of advice would you give business car operators?

Plan for the future and utilise the huge wealth of information, knowledge and support accessible to them. Get fleet decisions wrong and it can prove to be extremely expensive.
