21 October 2015 – Williams Conference Centre, Grove, Oxfordshire

‘Fleet 2020’ is the theme of the 2015 annual national members’ conference of the Institute of Car Fleet Management (ICFM). Guest speaker is Phil Tufnell, former England cricketer and TV personality. The 23rd ICFM conference takes place on Wednesday October 21 at the Williams Conference Centre, Grove, Oxfordshire and is kindly hosted by headline sponsor PPG, the world's leading coatings and speciality products and services company. PPG is also an Official Partner to the Williams F1 Team. Co-sponsoring the ICFM conference for a fourth successive year is FMG, the UK's leading independent provider of fleet incident management and specialist vehicle recovery services. Secondary sponsors include Alphabet, BCA, Jaama, Rightsure and Thrifty.

Chairman of the ICFM, Paul Hollick declared: “We will have topics about the landscape today and in the future, looking at fleet management trends over the next five years. Once again we will include a lively expert panel discussion session.

“After lunch, our guest speaker is Phil Tufnell who played 42 tests and 20 one-day internationals for England plus 316 first-class matches, mainly for Middlesex. The former slow left-arm orthodox spin bowler has been a popular resident captain on BBC One’s Question of Sport since 2008 and is guaranteed to entertain our attendees with his imitable style. No doubt he will have some interesting observations on the outcome of The Ashes!

“As a not-for-profit education and training organisation, our awards presentation is an essential part of our conference where we can publicly recognise individual achievement and rising talent. Our accredited education and training programmes make a real difference to the contribution employees make to their organisations by helping improve efficiencies, save costs and ensure compliance. Our awardees will be privileged to have their certificates presented to them by Phil Tufnell.”

Once the conference has ended there will be tours of Sir Frank Williams' private Grand Prix Collection. Housing more than 40 of the team's seminal race cars, it is the largest private collection of Formula 1 cars in the world, charting the team's 38 years of F1 history.
