Keep our club moving safely and efficiently

The Fleet Manager is the guardian of the club’s transport safety, performance, and operational excellence. In this pivotal role, you’ll ensure every 17‑seater, 9‑seater, and van in our fleet stays roadworthy, compliant, and optimised for cost and efficiency, while championing a culture where safety is second nature for both our professional drivers and our “grey fleet” colleagues using their own vehicles for club activities.

You’ll also play a key leadership role, providing direction and day‑to‑day support to our team of four part‑time drivers.

Beyond day‑to‑day compliance, you’ll bring a strategic lens: anticipating how emerging trends, whether ULEZ changes, advances in EV infrastructure, or shifts in transport legislation. If you’re someone who sees around corners, lives in the detail, and loves turning data into confident decisions, we’d love for you to make an application.
