Taking place on Tuesday 7 June at the Ashton Gate Stadium, the event will provide companies with an opportunity to explore operational best practice across a range of key areas within van operation and examine the ramifications of something going wrong, looking at the strategies and processes operators could and should be putting in place to measure, manage and reduce the risk and impact of shortfalls.
Sponsored by Mercedes-Benz Vans, the event takes a closer look at the way drivers’ actions can impact on how a fleet operation works, and reflects on how planning and consideration can improve the way they work and the image of the van driver in the UK.
The operational briefings have already been held in Nottingham, Weybridge and Glasgow. Delegates included Alison Moriarty, fleet risk and compliance manager at Skanska, who commented: “The Van Excellence Briefings we attended were excellent! They demonstrated the need to manage risk in van operations but also provided practical guidance on strategies to adopt. An absolute must for anyone involved in operating vans, including senior managers and directors who must understand the repercussions of getting it wrong.”
Places at the Bristol event are available to all van operators. The cost is £50 plus VAT per delegate, or ten places for £200, and one free place is available to the Van Excellence Governance Group, Van Excellence accredited operators and Guide to Van Excellence subscribers.
