Supporting SMEs WEBINAR - 18th May

Are you a small business? Do you need help in reaching Net Zero?

This free webinar will provide all the help SMEs need to transition to a sustainable fleet, including grants, incentives, and financial support. We will also discuss the latest developments in electric vehicles and how they can benefit SMEs, including their lower running costs, reduced emissions, and improved efficiency.

As part of our commitment to furthering the progression of Net Zero, we will highlight the various organisations and initiatives driving the transition to sustainable fleets. These include government and industry-led initiatives.

With a focus on smaller fleets hear from experts and have your say on the current incentives available, leasing and finance, how to expand your EV fleet and what you see as the issues that matter now.
