In addition, Freda Rashdi of National Highways, Sir Peter Hendy of Network Rail and Rod McKenzie of the RHA, will discuss other industry issues impacting operators today and into the future.

The Microlise Transport Conference has established itself as the industry’s premier conference, offering a thought-provoking and engaging programme of speakers, complemented by four workshop areas, an exhibition featuring innovative industry suppliers and the opportunity to network with over 1,000 delegates.

Attracting attendees from both managerial and operational areas across fleet transportation, regardless of fleet size, industry sector or technology usage, the one-day Microlise Transport Conference is free to attend.
