ICFM CONFERENCE 2010: Workshops focus on cost of cars

Date: 26 July 2010

As well as listening to a trio of speakers at the ICFM conference, the delegates themselves were encouraged to take an active part in proceedings, and were split into four groups to discuss and develop, using a workshop format, ideas around controlling cost.

The first of the two workshops looked at the topics of encouraging suppliers to deliver truly outstanding service and encouraging participation by drivers in the management of cost, while the second session dealt with reducing the cost of cars used for business travel, and for those principally for staff remuneration.

"The workshop format admirably demonstrated the professionalism, expertise and enthusiasm of our members," said ICFM chairman Roddy Graham. "The proactive participation by all attendees resulted in two 'best practice' workshops judged of real value to all participants."
