Risk management and the reduction of overall vehicle operating costs. These are the key issues facing managers of larger business car fleets.
The issues were polled from a survey of business car managers who have attended Fleet Management Essentials workshops.
Run by Jaama, a fleet software and occupational road safety company, the workshops have been for employees with part-time responsibility for business car fleets.
Jason Francis, managing director of Jaama, commented that he was pleased businesses understood occupational road risk.
But he suggested the next issue that should hit the small business radar was the environment.
