Frank De Beuker
Ever since I met Bill, he's been a person I trust. On many occasions I called him (and still do) to "check my gut feeling" about certain issues. Bill is one of the people I value most in the entire fleet world : he knows what he's talking about and is not afraid to oppose the "popular trends" if he thinks there's a better direction in which to proceed. If you want honest, "unmarketed" opinions or solutions : this is te guy to call ! Top performing professional, top 10 European fleet expert in my views !
