Driving for Better Business
Private Sector Summit
As part of the United Nations Global Road Safety Week (6-12 May 2019) which this year has the theme of Leadership, Highways England is hosting the Driving for Better Business Private Sector Summit, for CEOs and Board Directors of some of the UK’s leading businesses, at McLaren’s inspirational new Thought Leadership Centre.
Who is this event for?
This key leadership summit is reserved for CEOs, Board members and senior fleet or transport decision makers.
There are only 100 places available. If you would like to register your interest in attending, please complete this form and we will be in touch.
The day will close with a tour of the McLaren facilities
Highways England operates and maintains the Strategic Road Network (SRN) of motorways and major trunk roads. It is an asset that has vital importance – not just to the success of UK plc, but to the success of your own business.
Incidents that cause disruption on our network, also cause disruption to your operations. They are often the result of poor driving decisions or poorly maintained vehicles and, frequently, as part of work journeys. The economic cost is massive and so a major shift in how non-compliance is dealt with is now underway.
New information from multi-agency events has highlighted problems with driver/vehicle compliance that are much more serious and widespread than previously thought.
This Private Sector Summit will bring together the top leaders and stakeholders from some of the biggest users of the Strategic Road Network and will allow us to share the latest strategies aimed at ensuring the effectiveness of this vital national asset.

There are around 500 work-related deaths every year. As the national regulator for health and safety, HSE plays a key strategic role and continues to work closely with our public sector partners to protect people and reduce the risks associated with driving for work but we cannot do it alone. We look to private sector organisations and industry to work with us to make a real difference to the safety of those at work. |
