Responsible for over 4.3 million vehicles on UK roads, BVRLA members need to fully understand trends in vehicle values and managing de-fleeting strategies.

Commissions Disclosure and its impact on members will be the focal point of a keynote presentation from Wayne Gibbard of Shoosmiths at the upcoming Compliance Forum, taking place at Shoosmiths in London on 28 May.

As the rental and mobility landscape transforms, businesses are facing new complexities in managing payments and fraud prevention. The BVRLA’s latest webinar, ‘Checks, Chargebacks and Payments’, will bring together industry experts to dissect the current issues and explore future-facing solutions.

Equipping attendees with insights on how the Zero Emission Vehicle Mandate is impacting the sector, and what members can do to prepare, the Fleets in Charge Conference will begin with a session from Department for Transport senior officials, touching on the ZEV Mandate, legislation and policy concerns.

An inquest into the deaths of four people killed by drivers with poor eyesight found enforcement of visual legal standards for motorists “ineffective and unsafe”.

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.

How the industry views leadership, talent, and gender diversity are explored in the latest BVRLA blog, by Francesca De Cozar from the association’s Learning and Development team. Francesca also shines a light on the ‘Accelerate - Women’s Voices in Fleet’ course, and how to encourage positive change in the industry.

The leasing sector held its ground in 2024 in the face of changeable consumer confidence, growing a modest 0.65% year on year. Budgetary constraints and economic uncertainty took hold of some segments, causing demand to go in different directions between personal and business contracts, with a similar divergence between vans (volume down 10.96%) and cars (up 4.9%).
