GF100! Summer Summit
The GF100 is the UK fleet sector’s list of ‘Who’s Who’ in fleet decarbonisation! And after the release of the Official Listing, online, in February, we’re delighted to bring you ‘The GF100 Summer Summit… LIVE!’
We’re bringing those that are ‘on’ the list, together, in person. A gathering of the greatest and most active minds in our sector, in one place, to formalise a united strategy for UK fleet decarbonisation.
Coupled with a ‘celebration’, featuring good food and drinks, it’s sure to be the ‘summer party’ to be at, this year!
And you can be right at the heart of the action!
The SUMMIT will feature some of the ‘most influential’ individuals in UK fleet, live on stage, in panel sessions addressing the key issues facing the sector.
Coupled with a ‘celebration’, featuring good food and drinks, it’s sure to be the ‘summer party’ to be at, this year! Featuring keynotes, interactive polls, Q&A’s and more, we will get to the heart of what needs to be done to help the sector decarbonise, looking at electrification, alternative fuels, infrastructure, finance, accessibility and much more. And we will finish with a brand-new feature to the GF100… The Rising Star Awards! Yes, we will identify 3 individuals that are already having an impact in their role, within their organisation, and are expected to continue that rise and… who knows… creep onto the GF100 in the future, maybe?
The idea of the GF100 Summer Summit was to bring together the ‘most influential’ individuals in UK fleet and ask them the key questions that are dominating the fleet decarbonisation narrative.
Spread over 5 x Sessions, we will address the burning issues, allow the audience to ask key questions in the open Q&A elements, and then cast their votes in our interactive Polls.
Check out the Panellists leading the conversation at the GF100 Summer Summit.
Session 1: Fleet Decarbonisation: Where are we and what remains to be done?
Session 2: Before you commit… What does the data say? We explore how fleet decarbonisation needs to be a process.

The future is bright... The future is green!
It’s important to make time to recognise and encourage the ‘future of UK fleet’… The individuals that are beginning to leave their mark on the sector.
We have chosen 3 x individuals doing just that. One is at the ‘policy’ end of transport decarbonisation. Helping represent industry and lobby government, as well as working alongside government to help shape strategy and encourage uptake and more.
Another is now making big strides in the sector, from the ‘solution’ end of the market. Fleet electrification would not be possible without this kind of expertise, and innovation.
And finally, the front-line stuff. The ‘fleet’ end of the spectrum. These are the folk responsible for implementing everything, once the decarbonisation strategies are set.
We believe all 3 will continue their growth and we expect to see and hear a lot more from them, moving forward. And together with our friends at The AA & The AA – Business Services, we are delighted to recognise them as our GF100 ‘Rising Stars’ for 2026.
Session 5: Top of the Pops - Numbers 1, 2 & 3! Are they ‘influential’? Not ‘arf! We ask 'What?' 'When?’ and 'Why?’
