LONDON (May 28, 2024) – Vanguard®, Briggs & Stratton’s commercial power solution brand, is proud to sponsor the Rental eSummit at the Amsterdam Arena on 24^th September 2024.

Attendees will have the chance to explore innovative approaches to electrification and understand the viewpoints of diverse industry stakeholders.

Paul Bramhall, Director of Electrification/Rental EMEA at Briggs & Stratton, adds: “It is incredibly important that the industry meets for events like these and discusses the subjects that are impacting them on a daily basis. The move to standardisation and the challenges of energy transition are subjects that will only become more prevalent over the coming years so it is important we get ahead.”

Taking place at the impressive Johan Cruijff Arena in Amsterdam, home of the globally renowned Ajax soccer team, the Rental eSummit will be easily accessible for delegates thanks to the nearby AMS international airport, excellent public transport links and plenty of parking.

The exclusive invitation-only event will feature a series of presentations by key industry experts, providing distinctive insights from diverse regions and sectors within the rental business in light of the evolving landscapes influenced by the energy transition, including:
