The BVRLA honoured some of the vehicle rental and leasing industry’s finest at the association’s Annual Dinner at the London Hilton last week.
The event, attended by around 750 industry colleagues and guests, was joined by comedian and actor Omid Djalili who provided the evening’s entertainment. Guests also generously gave to the automotive industry charity BEN, raising £10,700 on the night.
BVRLA Chief Executive Gerry Keaney announced Peter Cakebread as the winner of the Freddie Aldous Outstanding Contribution Award. The coveted award was first introduced last year in honour of the BVRLA’s Honorary Life President Freddie Aldous, who passed away in 2017.
Others to be recognised during the evening were Naomi Kerr and Emma Gilmour, both from Arnold Clark Car & Van Rental. The two were commended for achieving the joint highest scores amongst all those who successfully completed the BVRLA IMI Rental Operator Skills Award during 2019.
Rachael Dean of Alphabet and Jo Humphreys of Low Cost Vans were both awarded the BVRLA Industry Hero Award, recognising their performance and exceptional contribution to their organisations.
Next year’s Annual Dinner is being held on 4 March 2021, again at the London Hilton on Park Lane. An early bird rate for tickets is available until the end of September. Email [email protected].
