Episode 68 Liz Allan and Lorna McAtear - The Changing Face of Fleet Management

Lorna McAtear Bio:
Lorna McAtear began her career in project management, specifically in the field of IT. However, she transitioned into Fleet management when she realised that a significant portion of a car's technology now relied on computer systems. This realisation prompted her to explore carbon reduction projects, such as removing roof racks from vans and implementing telemetry systems. She became one of the pioneers in using a single black box instead of two, opening up new possibilities for efficiency. Through these experiences, Lorna eventually became a commercial vehicle manager and developed a deep understanding of the Fleet industry. Her success in this transition demonstrated the transferable nature of her matrix management skills, a concept many overlook.
