Fleet Operator Roundtables

Open‑forum discussions are designed to provide Fleet Operators with a platform to share their challenges, issues and success stories. These sessions facilitate the exchange of best practice and offer reassurance that operators are acting consistently and in line with their industry peers. Many participants have gained valuable risk‑management insights and practical advice from fellow operators, enabling them to refine and strengthen their own risk‑management procedures.

Here are some of the current trending topics:

• Camera Mirror systems
• How are companies managing EV charging reimbursements? – Charge at home, network provider changes, public charging, EV fuel cards etc
• Fire detection in EV chargers & associated electrical switchgear
• Thoughts on the Government’s recent commentary regarding eye testing – is over 70s enough?
• The use of AI in Haulage & Logistics
• Internal/bespoke Fleet Forums for operators
• Risk Assessments – paper, online or in-vehicle, what works best and what results are operators seeing in improving risk culture?

The Fleet Operator Roundtables scheduled for 2026 are as follows:

Transportation and climate risk

Climate change and the transition to a net-zero economy pose new challenges for all organisations. The need to manage climate risk and support a transition to a low carbon, resilient economy is no longer a matter of conscience, but a strategic and financial imperative.

We understand that everyone’s level of knowledge and experience of managing climate risk may be different. Our WTW specialists can support you on your journey to help you identify, measure and respond to climate-related risks and opportunities.
