The board
John Pryor feels ACFO's six-strong board puts the organsiation in as healthy a position as it has been for some time.
"It's a strong board and it's good we've got fleet operators, people doing it on a day-to-day basis," the new chairman tells BusinessCar. "I'm very passionate about having fleet operators on the board. Some years ago it was balanced in favour of suppliers, and now we have four fleet operators, one supplier and Julie Jenner who is 50:50."
The board consists of Arcadia's purchasing and contracts manager Pryor, Barclays fleet manager and ACFO deputy chairman Caroline Sandall, IBM fleet manager Phil Redman, Bauer Media fleet and risk manager Debbie Floyde, former chairman Julie Jenner,
GE Capital key solutions manager, and Richard Baird, head of new business development at Marshall Leasing.
"It shows how things have changed. I look after cars, business travel and expenses operation, including corporate charge cards and mobile phones; Caroline is not just cars but healthcare; and Debbie is also risk management," comments Pryor. "This is how fleet operations have changed and to my mind it is why ACFO is even more important."
