Today I am attending the annual conference of the Institute of Car Fleet Management (ICFM), which this year is taking the form of a FREE training workshop focusing in three areas of Fleet Management.
These are:
Workshop 1 – Delivering value from Fleet.
Workshop 2 – Identifying and developing the skills for success.
Workshop 3 – Managing Risks
I have been a member of the ICFM for a number of years now and I must confess that I have learnt something at every conference I have attended and I am certain that this year will be no different.
The ICFM are professional body looking after the interests of Fleet Managers throughout the UK and I would advise anyone who is either currently looking after a number of vehicles or thinking of entering the world of fleet management at least visits the website and considers some of the training on offer.

I have been using a product on the glass in my car for the last few months and I am now at the point where I can share the proven benefits of using a glass treatment product.
The product I am using is RainX and it is, in my opinion, brilliant. It works be creating a micro-surface on the glass and is designed to allow the water to bead and run off easier. It does this very well indeed and it will allow you the driver the ability to see much clearer and at certain speeds it is not necessary to use the wiper blades as the screen clears of water quicker than the blades could do it.
Over the winter I found an added bonus, it prevents frost forming on the glass. This meant that I did not need to scrape hard to clear the side glass.
I have re-treated the windscreen because over time it does wear away, but all the other windows are still in a great condition.
So to improve your visibility and give you a bit of extra opportunity to see the road ahead I suggest you invest in some RainX I think you will find it of value.
