More than 60 per cent of car fleet managers claimed that their companies have avoided cutting training costs despite the mounting financial pressures of the recession, it has been reported.
Research conducted by FleetNews.co.uk found that the majority of businesses in the UK appear to have maintained their driver training schemes, partly due to an increased awareness of the importance and implications of proper health and safety measures at work.
Terry Fleury, transport and communications manager at Care Nursing, told FleetNews: "Due to the recent changes involving health and safety at work and the focus on the car being defined as a workplace, we felt the need to continue with the investment so as to include attention to those aspects.
"This training is for staff who drive and for managers."
Car fleet managers have seen an increasing demand to purchase low-emissions vehicles despite the financial troubles experienced by the motor industry in recent months, making the juggling act particularly difficult.
To see that companies are maintaining investment in car fleets, however, is no doubt a positive for the sector.
