Fifty new bursary memberships of the Association of Fleet Professionals (AFP) are being funded by FleetCheck and will be awarded before the end of this year.
The fleet software specialist wants to help make the benefits of being part of the industry body as widely available as possible to FleetCheck customers, said CEO Peter Golding.
‘We are long time members of the AFP and often recommend joining to our users. It is an excellent organisation that provides superb support to fleets – promoting dialogue, high quality training and the sector’s wider interests.
‘For a while, we have been identifying means of supporting the wider fleet community and have launched a series of initiatives such as our recent FleetInsights online library. These new AFP bursaries are a further step in that thinking.
‘We have 50 memberships lasting a minimum of 12 months to award to FleetCheck customers and are currently drawing up qualifying criteria. The accent is on identifying those who otherwise couldn’t join the AFP but are likely to become engaged in its activities, gaining the most out of the organisation.
‘Our view is that being part of the AFP is a huge benefit to any fleet and enabling as many of our users as possible to access those benefits will help them become safer, more efficient, more progressive vehicle operators.’
Paul Hollick, AFP chair, said: ‘We are delighted to be working with FleetCheck. One of our key aims for 2026 is to increase our representation among smaller fleets and while FleetCheck has many larger, corporate customers, it is especially well represented in the SME sector and these bursaries should help towards our objective.’
As part of the new arrangement, FleetCheck will become an AFP Platinum level member, and also hold two webinars in conjunction with the AFP – one for its customers at 10 am on 20 October and one for the wider fleet community later in Q4 of 2026.
