Taking place at the British Motor Museum, Gaydon, on 18 May, the event will see Kirby discuss his own ideas and experiences as well as moderating a discussion on ‘The Trouble With Vans’ addressing fleet challenges with eLCV adoption.
Other speakers on the panel include Colin Hutt of Clarion Housing, Matt Hammond of Altrad, Stuart Murphy of Royal Mail and Steve Openshaw of Eric Wright.
Kirby operates his own EV Essentials company and has worked within the motor industry for more than 25 years, notably as a van specialist for a number of companies including Vanarama and LeasePlan.
AFP chair Paul Hollick said: “Van electrification is among the topics at the top of the fleet agenda at the moment with many businesses tackling a range of practical issues from charging to payload, and we are very pleased to be able to include Paul and the other panel speakers as part of our line-up. We are sure that they will have some very interesting observations that delegates will be able to take away and apply to their own situations.”
The AFP has also now signed up Mercedes-Benz as a platinum sponsor for the event, alongside Allstar and Mina.
“Obviously, corporate sponsors play a huge part in making an event such as this possible and we’d like to sincerely thank the three companies that have come on board in this capacity. Their contribution is very much valued,” added Hollick.
“We’ve already had delegates fill around 60% of the available capacity. Places are limited, so we advise people to register as soon as possible.”
Registration is online and open to AFP members only.
