Cranfield Taster Event
Cranfield School of Management is one of the World’s elite business schools and will be hosting a pair of taster events at the Institute of Directors on 19th & 20th September. Already widely used by the Worshipful Company of Innholders, attendees will be able to reflect on the contrasting roles of leaders and managers, politics and agendas in business and developing a strategic perspective.
Anyone interested in their leadership development will get the opportunity of a one-to-one consultation with a member of Cranfield’s General Management Development team, to help them think through their situation and determine which programme is right for them or their team.

Are Your Vans Alternatively Fuelled?
On 26 July 2017, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), along with the Department for Transport (DfT), announced its plan to help reduce roadside nitrogen dioxide concentrations. The plan includes a consultation asking for your views on proposed changes to regulations for vans and light commercial vehicles.
As part of the proposed changes, van drivers will be able to operate heavier electric or gas powered vehicles without having to apply for a new licence. The changes also include whether the MOT exemption for electric vans should be removed. Find out more about how the proposed changes will work and give your views by 18 October 2017.
