Nominations open: Shine a spotlight on your Industry Heroes

Nominations are now open for the BVRLA’s Industry Hero Awards, sponsored by Close Brothers Leasing, giving members the opportunity to recognise colleagues who go above and beyond. Three winners – including one team – will be announced on 4 March 2026 at the association’s black-tie Annual Dinner on London’s Park Lane.

The award categories are:

  • Business Builder (individual award)
  • Decarbonisation Driver (individual award)
  • Service Specialists (team award)

There’s no limit to the number of nominations that can be submitted, though senior leaders and executives are not eligible (they can nominate colleagues, but not be nominated personally).

Submit your nominations via the online form by Friday 9 January 2026. Shortlisted nominees will be notified in advance, with winners announced on stage at the Dinner.
