Fleet professionals are urging decision-makers to attend Fleet & Mobility Live next week, describing the event as a critical opportunity for industry engagement. The gathering takes place at the NEC Birmingham on October 6-7, 2026, and brings together more than 100 exhibitors. Attendees can expect sessions covering cost control, fleet performance, finance, and HR, alongside networking opportunities designed to strengthen business strategies.
Connecting with Industry Peers
Paul Hollick, the group’s chair, encouraged attendees to visit the AFP Hub to meet colleagues. “If there’s any fleet managers joining the event who don’t know any fleet managers, pop over to the AFP stand,” Hollick said.
Liam James, head of business development at Novuna, highlighted the practical value of the exhibition. He described the event as the “event of the year” and noted that visitors can view new products, hear about emerging innovations, and make new connections. “It’s going to help fleet managers deliver on their challenges and objectives,” James added.
Focus on Educational Seminars
Chris Connors, head of fleet and travel at ISS, emphasized the importance of the seminar program. He plans to attend to listen to speakers and observe their experiences. “Make sure you’re there in good time; because you might be able to listen again, but you won’t get that opportunity to be there in the room and ask questions,” Connors advised.
Lorna McAtear, head of fleet at National Grid and a visitor advisory board member, explained how the event evolves. “Every time we hold this, there’s something new, something else we try to bring,” she said. The organizers actively listen to feedback to add features without removing core offerings.
Networking and Strategic Planning
Attendees can utilize dedicated meeting spaces for end-user fleets, the AFP Hub for peer discussions, and the Fleet News Hub for expert perspectives. These areas provide infrastructure for professional interaction. The event offers a concentrated environment where fleet teams can evaluate the future of their operations and identify key opportunities for growth.
