Expanding Member Support for 2026

The BVRLA continues to strengthen its member proposition and ensure that organisations across the rental and leasing sectors receive the highest level of support from their association. As part of this ongoing commitment, the BVRLA is introducing a range of new services that will be included within membership from 2026.

These developments reflect the association’s focus on enhancing resources, improving business support, and delivering tools that help members navigate an increasingly complex operating environment. Further details will be shared in the coming weeks, and the BVRLA welcomes continued feedback from members as these offerings are refined.

The association will introduce the following additional services:

  1. HR and Health and safety resources and support delivered in partnership with WorkNest
  2. Apprenticeship provision through a new partnership with Babington
  3. A new partnerships programme offering exclusive BVRLA-member pricing
  4. New agreement templates including rental agreements, contract hire agreements, and more
  5. Insights from aggregated compliance and ADR data to support learning and continuous improvement
  6. A new BVRLA website designed to make member interaction easier and more efficient
  7. A new Learning Management System (LMS) for BVRLA training, offering improved usability and member control.

Members will shortly receive further information about each of the new services. The BVRLA will continue to evolve its support and is always keen to hear from members about further services or resources that would be valuable. Email [email protected].

Support that is available to members immediately includes access to WorkNest’s HR and Health and Safety support.
