Delegates at Van Operational Briefings impressed by high calibre of speakers


Delegates who attended Logistics UKā€™s Van Operational Briefings last week (14 and 16 September 2021) were overwhelmingly positive in their feedback about the two events, held in Manchester and Beaconsfield respectively.

An impressive line-up of industry experts and leaders gave delegates an overview of key issues that are affecting the sector, from driver safety training to electrifying a van fleet.

Highlights included sessions on van driver welfare, understanding electric vans and an intriguing session on upgrading the power supply at depots to support an electric fleet. Also well received was a future-focussed panel discussion among Logistics UK’s Van Gold Partners, about how to prepare for industry developments over the next five years.

Phil Lloyd, Logistics UK’s Head of Engineering Policy, who spoke at both events, said: “We received some incredibly positive feedback from delegates at our Van Operational Briefings, with several members remarking on the high calibre of the speakers and the professional way in which the events were delivered.

“Vans were particularly high profile during the pandemic and rightly recognised for the essential service they provide, whether that’s delivering urgent and everyday supplies or maintaining vital utilities. These two Van Operational Briefings performed a sterling job of helping to prepare operators to navigate the post-pandemic recovery.”
