ACFO announces restructure for 2018

Date: 14 September 2017   |   Author: Daniel Puddicombe

The Association of Car Fleet Operators (ACFO) has announced a new structure in order to better inform existing members and help recruit newcomers.

Due to come into force at the start of next year, the changes include the fleet body being reduced from nine regions to one, while the twice-yearly seminars will continue to be held, alongside regional webinars.

ACFO says the restructuring is in response to feedback from members. Fleet decision-makers have said they are prepared to attend day-long seminars, while attendance at regional meetings has shrunk owing to increased demands from employers.

The fleet body also confirmed that its six-strong board led by chairman John Pryor will remain; however, the organization says it is inviting members to apply for the positions of regional chairman and regional secretary, with their roles being to facilitate and chair the webinars.

In addition, the regional chairman and regional secretary will attend board meetings.

ACFO added that, if demanded by members, webinars could be held more frequently than the planned two a year.

Also, as part of the restructuring, the association's National Council will be disbanded. 

"We believe that the new structure ? which will see the twice-a-year regional meetings replaced by spring and autumn webinars to keep members up-to-date with the very latest ACFO, regulatory and legislative news ?coupled with our seminar programme tackling agenda-topping issues, will prove popular and less time consuming than travelling to attend regional meetings," Pryor said.  "As a result, we hope the development will act as a springboard to encourage employees with fleet management responsibility to join ACFO and take part in the webinars from their offices. Today's technology enables fleet operators to interact and discuss key issues without the need to network in person at meetings, simultaneously having a positive environmental impact."
