In an unusual departure for this podcast, Catherine Levin interviews two guests. She talks to Tom Baker and Ian Hogarth who together are the experts keeping the fleet of the RNLI on the road and at sea.

They get into the detail about how you maintain a diverse fleet that is so geographically dispersed and used by hundreds of volunteers.

Tom looks after the boat fleet and shares how the boats are made, used and the innovations that are driving improvements for the future, with technology and interoperability at their heart.

Ian oversees the vehicle fleet - at 1000 vehicles he is looking at the decarbonisation agenda and how to do that in a way that works across the country.

It's the perfect conversation to tee up the activity that will take place around the Fleet of the Future theme at this year's Emergency Services Show.

Speakers:

Catherine Levin, Editor, Emergency Services Times
Tom Baker, RNLI
Ian Hogarth, RNLI
