Another sell-out Annual Dinner welcomed 850 members and their guests last week. Through a small selection of awards and address from the association Chair, plus unparalleled networking opportunities and exceptional entertainment, the event celebrated the contributions of the industry and the individuals that push progress.
Opening the event, Jon Lawes, BVRLA Chair, said: “Tonight, we celebrate another record-breaking year of membership, with the highest number of vehicles operated by BVRLA members in over six years.
“Our market is forever moving. Despite facing daunting obstacles like parts and labour shortages and an impending General Election, BVRLA members you have shown strength and resilience.
“In the last year alone, we have seen regulatory changes impacting every single member, from Consumer Duty through to the ZEV Mandate. That is why the BVRLA is here for you, to provide the support and guidance to keep members and our industry ahead.”
The BVRLA would like to take the opportunity to again thank the sponsors for 2024; BYD, Close Brothers Leasing, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Jaama, Radius Vehicle Solutions, United Rental Group, Vehicle Rental Services, Zen Auto, and Zenith. Donations were placed on the night in aid of Ben, raising over £4,000 to support the charity’s activities.
The BVRLA Annual Dinner will return on Thursday 6 March 2025.
