Leaseplan UK has launched a series of on-demand webinars, to provide fleet managers with expert insight and real life guidance on the impact of the lockdown on fleets, and how to adapt existing fleet policies in a post Covid-19 world.

The series, entitled Lifting the Lockdown, starts on 8th June, and will run for 12 weeks, with a different episode each fortnight.

Each of the six episodes will be hosted by a range of experts within the business including the consultancy and fleet risk teams, as well as industry suppliers.

The first episode, Where we’ve been and where we’re going, will be hosted by Mike Belcher, Corporate Sales Director and Jessica Chapman, Head of Strategic Partnerships at LeasePlan UK.

They will discuss the effects of the lockdown on fleets and look at the lessons that LeasePlan has learned from its entities across the globe. Within this also covering the impact across Europe as well as closer to home, and the differing exit strategies that EU countries have or are looking to implement.

The following five episodes will address other topical issues surrounding the fleet industry, with a focus on the impact of COVID-19 on fleet strategy, the ‘new normal’, safety, our sustainable future.

  • Getting to grips with vehicle fleets in the ‘new normal’: The lockdown may be lifting, but we will still have to get used to a ‘new normal’, as social distancing measures are set to remain in place for some time. The will webinar look at what this might look like for drivers, with examples from auto industry suppliers on what to expect.
