Join BVRLA

The BVRLA wants to make sure MPs are thinking about fleets and understand the importance of our industry, but we can’t do it alone. We are asking members to sign up to support our engagement programme and become industry champions.

How Industry Champions would get the sector in front of politicians:

✅Hosting constituency visits to branches/offices/depots (if an MP agrees to visit)

✅Writing to MPs and candidates

✅Accompanying the BVRLA at meetings and engagement events

How the BVRLA will support:

✅Draft letters for Champions to send to MPs and politicians, as well as chase on member’s behalf

✅Cover the organisation elements of any visit to ensure timings work for the member

✅Brief the member in advance of any meeting and create the required materials

✅Facilitate and guide any discussion
