Since stepping into the role of CEO at the British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association (BVRLA) in January, Toby Poston has steered the UK’s fleet leasing industry through a challenging time of change.

From the zero-emission mandate, cleaner fleets, and fleet electrification; changing political priorities and the loss of consensus on the environment, through to legal challenges to the way in which the wider auto finance industry is organised; the road forward for the vehicle leasing industry remains unclear. Not even BVRLA members all agree on what comes next.

Join us for this webcast at 1pm on 16^th July as Toby Poston, CEO at the BVRLA shares his insights and how he is planning the association’s route forward.
