This year’s Fleets in Charge Conference will focus on the realities of the electric vehicle transition – where progress is being made, where challenges remain, and how the sector can move forward with clarity and confidence. The BVRLA is hosting the conference on 2 July, bringing together industry leaders, policymakers, and fleet professionals to discuss the key issues shaping the future of rental and leasing.

The BVRLA has launched an additional way for members to customise training to better fit their teams' needs. The new ‘Pick and Mix’ option lets members adapt course content to suit their business. Members can select the key modules from multiple courses, and the BVRLA will create a personalised programme.

Francesca De Cozar, from the Learning and development team at the BVRLA looks at how the industry views leadership, talent, and gender diversity and highlights the need to show women that they're not alone, their voices matter and their aspirations are valid and achievable.

For the second successive year, Harrogate-based Synergy Car Leasing was named “Broker of the Year” at the Broker News Awards 2025, held at London’s Orrery restaurant.

The leasing sector held its ground in 2024 in the face of changeable consumer confidence, growing a modest 0.65% year on year.

BVRLA Chief Executive Toby Poston comments; The transition away from ICE vehicles presents a generational challenge. The journey is long, winding and completed at a differing pace with varied amounts of resistance. Last week’s announcement from Government released the safety valve on the targets of the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate, making them more symbolic and less painful for the manufacturers bound by them.
