The BVRLA’s industry Forums offer members the chance to connect, learn, and stay ahead of market trends. With final agendas being confirmed for this summer’s forums, both events promise valuable insight, expert speakers, and opportunities for networking.
Residual Value and Remarketing Forum – 19 June, Solihull
Taking place at the IM Group’s HQ in Solihull—home to GWM, Subaru, XPENG and Isuzu - the Residual Value and Remarketing (RVR) Forum returns on Thursday 19 June. This year's theme, ‘Where have we been, and where are we going?’, sets the stage for discussions that balance reflective and forward-looking insights on the new and used vehicle markets.
Karl Lord of Enterprise will chair the Forum, joined by confirmed representatives from IM Group, Auto Trader, and Autorola, with more to be announced. Attendees can expect expert analysis, market updates, and a chance to see a selection of vehicles on display.
The event kicks off at 9.30am with coffee, followed by a packed morning of sessions and a networking lunch at 1pm.
Vehicle and Fleet Management Forum – 10 July, Meriden
A few weeks later, on Thursday 10 July, the focus shifts to fleet operations at the Vehicle and Fleet Management (VFM) Forum, hosted at epyx HQ in Meriden. Under the theme ‘End-to-End Vehicle Management: Every Element, Every Stage’, the event will take a look at the entire fleet lifecycle - from acquisition and servicing to repair, downtime, and disposal.
Blaine Colston of Kinto returns as chair, leading a lineup of speakers from epyx, Fleet Assist, Accident Exchange, and The AA. A highlight of the day will be the unveiling of the 2025 OEM Relationship Survey results, revealing which manufacturers are leading the way in service, communication, and delivery.
Both forums provide excellent opportunities for BVRLA members to deepen their understanding, hear from key industry voices, and bring colleagues - especially those new to BVRLA events - into the fold.
