Fleet and Mobility Live 2021
After months of not being able to meet people in person, the two days of Fleet and Mobility Live were a welcome opportunity for life to feel a little more normal. It was great to see so many familiar faces at the LeasePlan stand, as well as saying hello to many people for the first time.
You won't be surprised to hear that we had a lot to talk about - in particular, many of our visitors were interested in the value of salary sacrifice for electric vehicles and our experts provided support with everything from the savings that can be generated to the process for setting up a scheme.
Our very own Matthew Walters also led a panel discussion that looked at how you can build the business case for electrification. If you haven't had a chance to watch this yet, it's available on demand now. We hope you won't think it's a spoiler if we say that the case for electric fleets is a strong one.
