For the past 13 years I have been working within the leasing industry and I am proud to be the Business Development Director at Marshall Leasing.
I am delighted to have been made a Director of the Association of Fleet Professionals (AFP) as well as being their Company Secretary, following the merger of ACFO and the ICFM earlier this year.
The AFP role was a natural progression having been a familiar figure within ACFO for nearly three decades and a Director for the past six years. I am also proud to have MICFM accreditation with the ICFM and also a fellowship within the IMI.
A long career working within the motor industry and our trade bodies have given me an invaluable grounding to take on the role within the AFP, recognising that although the AFP represents fleet operators, it also needs professional supplier representation to function.
I relish the opportunity to continue to lend my experience gained across all aspects of business-to-business sales management to help grow this new organisation. I will do so by continuing to promote the benefits that AFP offers its members and encourage people with responsibility for fleet to join up, contribute and influence the future success of THE industry body for fleet professionals.”][/team_member][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][team_member image_url=”179″ bio_alt_image_url=”179″ team_memeber_style=”bio_fullscreen_alt” image_loading=”default” team_member_bio_full_html=”simple” name=”Chris Joyce” job_position=”Board Member”][/team_member][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][team_member image_url=”180″ bio_alt_image_url=”180″ team_memeber_style=”bio_fullscreen_alt” image_loading=”default” team_member_bio_full_html=”simple” name=”Denise Lane” job_position=”Board Member”][/team_member][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][team_member image_url=”181″ bio_alt_image_url=”181″ team_memeber_style=”bio_fullscreen_alt” image_loading=”default” team_member_bio_full_html=”simple” name=”Peter Milchard” job_position=”Board Member” team_member_bio=”Peter has over 30 years’ experience within the fleet industry and has managed and provided consultancy and risk management programmes across SME to Global Corporate businesses for all industry and trade sectors.

Martin has led the transition to a zero-emission fleet at National Highways, working strategically with the DfT and Office of Zero Emission Vehicles to identify products that will enable the business to meet both DfT and National Highways carbon targets, in 2022 and 2027.”][/team_member][team_member image_url=”177″ bio_alt_image_url=”177″ team_memeber_style=”bio_fullscreen_alt” image_loading=”default” team_member_bio_full_html=”simple” name=”Debbie Floyde” job_position=”Board Member” team_member_bio=”Debbie has been Group Fleet Manager at Bauer Media for the last 23 years adding ‘Risk’ to her Job title in 2008 with the addition of the group commercial insurance procurement and subsequent risk management to her portfolio.
It is a diverse fleet role that combines the management of the conventional company vehicles, plus outside broadcast trucks and street team cars on radio stations, together with press cars and motorbikes used daily by our journalists for testing and evaluation purposes.
Best practice is high on Debbie’s agenda and is a key requirement, since she works alongside the high profile teams from Fleet News, Parkers and AM.
Commencing initially in a part time capacity with 150 vehicles she embarked on a journey to centralise the fleet function which, when at its largest was upwards of 1000 vehicles managed by 4/5 employees.
Efficiencies were sought and accomplished as process and procedure were challenged, new supplier partners appointed and for the first time all business units achieved parity group wide.
Stringent supplier management and daily analysis of fleet data continues to deliver efficiencies and her belief in being ‘hands on’ coupled with passion for making a difference is well known throughout the business. The initiatives that she has introduced have been welcomed at all levels.
She added the facilities management of a 650 head site in Peterborough to her remit in Sept 2016 and there has never been a dull moment since.
Benefiting hugely from the networking experiences provided by ACFO over the years and the advice and support from peers, fellow fleet operators and suppliers and now very proud to be a Director of AFP and would like to use her knowledge and skills to further participate in taking the AFP forward.”][/team_member][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][team_member image_url=”176″ bio_alt_image_url=”176″ team_memeber_style=”bio_fullscreen_alt” image_loading=”default” team_member_bio_full_html=”simple” name=”Martin Evans” job_position=”Board Member” team_member_bio=”Martin Evans is Managing Director of the industry’s leading fleet and leasing software innovator Jaama.
