New website and webinar agenda for ACFO

Fleet organisation ACFO is kicking off 2019 with a refreshed website and new webinar agenda.

Accessible at www.acfo.org, the website features a new look for 2019, notably incorporating easier member access to seminar and webinar recordings and presentations and a new-look ‘news section’ featuring a director-written blog reflecting on key industry topics.

Website development has been managed by ACFO deputy chairman Caroline Sandall, who said: “We have reacted to members’ views in making the website easier to navigate, particularly in respect of finding information in the online library, notably in relation to seminar presentations and webinar recordings.

“As ACFO increasingly focuses on conveying information digitally, the refreshed website ensures easier access to our ‘Digital Brief’ recordings and all ACFO news and views content, which means greater usability.”

ACFO introduced webinars to its list of member benefits in late 2017. This year’s webinar programme kicks-off with a ‘Digital Brief’ in which national chairman John Pryor, Ms Sandall and digital secretary James Pestell highlight ACFO’s 2019 events programme, discuss the website enhancements and raise a wide range of key issues that fleet operators should focus on this year.

Further webinars on key industry topics will be held in May, September and November and on other occasions, if the need arises. The pre-recorded ‘Digital Brief’ is now available for members to listen to on the ACFO website - www.acfo.org.

Pryor said: “Fleet operators were treading water in 2018 awaiting decisions on numerous issues. However, during the first half of 2019 ACFO anticipates that clarity will emerge on a number of key issues so it is essential that decision-makers adopt a pro-active forewarned is forearmed approach.

“Consequently, 2019 promises to be a year of change for fleet chiefs and ACFO will, as ever, continue to support members in raising awareness of the issues and delivering context and views on available options and the impact they will have on company car and van operations.”

During the first ‘Digital Brief’, which focuses on the launch of the new website, Pryor also takes the opportunity to highlight a number of key topics that ACFO members need to focus on during 2019, such as WLTP, emissions regulations, and plug-in vehicles.
