Three BVRLA Forums will bring members together during November, with sessions spanning the economic outlook, residual values, vehicle maintenance, accident management and compliance.

The month's programme begins with the Compliance Forum at Shoosmiths in Manchester on Tuesday 10 November. The agenda will explore changing regulation and how members need to evolve as customer needs and rights change. Further details and speakers will be announced shortly.

The Residual Value and Remarketing (RVR) Forum takes place at Tesla in Longbridge on Wednesday 11 November, shortly after the Autumn Budget. Glynn Jones from the Bank of England will provide an economic overview, giving members an opportunity to consider the wider outlook heading towards 2027.

The programme will also explore the factors shaping used vehicle values and demand. Dylan Setterfield of cap hpi will look ahead to 2027 and potential market disruptors, while Autotrader's Nick Press will examine used buyer behaviour, including what customers are searching for and the growing influence of AI. Sessions from Sixt and Cox Automotive will turn the focus to the van market.

A week later, the Vehicle and Fleet Management (VFM) Forum will be hosted by Jaguar Land Rover in Leamington Spa on Thursday 19 November. Fleet Assist will provide insight into service and maintenance, with FMG's Amanda Cunningham exploring accident management trends and potential disruptors. Keith Tabram from Kwik Fit will discuss tyre trends, including EV and internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, alongside wider servicing, maintenance and vehicle-off-road insight.

Members subscribed to the respective Forums can register to attend, while those interested in joining a Forum can contact the BVRLA Events team to find out more via [email protected].
