MasterDrive concluded their final colloquium for the year. The company took the opportunity to present tips and advice that can be used by both companies and individuals as they head into the festive season and face more challenges than usual. Each speaker provided information on specific subject areas that will help all head into 2022 safely and successfully.
The CEO of MasterDrive, Eugene Herbert, says when the colloquiums first began in 2020 as a necessity due to the challenges of COVID-19, it was never expected that it would evolve to the extent it did and consequently become a such an important event on many calendars. “The audience for each colloquium grows with each event and the platform provides an opportunity for lively and informed debate and participation.
“The final colloquium for the year is always a special one for us because of the potential it has to help individuals make it through what is a happy and enjoyable season but which also comes with many challenges that are often dangerous and sometimes tragic for many. In particular, this year was even more challenging than 2020 for many people and the upcoming holiday is an important time to rest, recover and recoup. We hope our colloquium was an invaluable tool in helping attendees do this.”
Speakers were carefully selected in order to achieve this:
- Kate Elliot, CEO of Right to Repair addressed some of the misconceptions around vehicle repairs, a particularly relevant topic as we head into the period with the highest number of accidents on our roads.
- Justin Manson, director of Webfleet Solutions, discussed the concept of total mobility, relating it to F1 to better increase one’s understanding.
- Craig Proctor-Parker, the MD of Accident Specialist, explained how a lack of skills contributes to crashes and how the situation on our roads at this time of year would be much different if more drivers were adequately skilled.
- Wahl Bartmann, CEO of Fidelity Services Group, provided invaluable tips and advice on how to better handle the increase in criminal activity that occurs during this time.
- Janine Fourie, a social worker at Phoenix Orb, provided tips on how to handle the festive season particularly if it has been a difficult year for you, so that each person can return next year feeling mentally revived
The mix of presenters culminated in an enjoyable and enlightening virtual event. “We hope as each person heads into the festive season, that they have the necessary skills and information to make it a good time of year. Whether this is staying home or hitting the road to go on holiday, use the tips and advice provided by the speakers to do this safely and successfully.
“MasterDrive would like to wish each person that joined us for our end-of-year colloquium and any colloquiums since starting in 2020, a safe, happy and empowered end to 2021. We look forward to seeing you in 2022, after a much-needed break and relaxation after this difficult year,” says Herbert.
