The 2016 Annual Dinner, which takes place on Thursday 3 March at the London Hilton on Park Lane, comes after a year in which the association grew its membership in every category and saw its combined member fleet rise to a record high of nearly 4.5 million vehicles.

To celebrate the industry’s achievements, the BVRLA has lined up broadcaster Jeremy Paxman as the keynote speaker for the evening, while comedy will be supplied by acclaimed stand-up Jimmy McGhie.

This year’s Annual Dinner will be supported by CCAS, Ebbon-Dacs, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Lombard, MS Automotive (London) Ltd, Paragon, Volkswagen Passenger Cars and VRS. 

The Annual Dinner will also celebrate the achievements of the sector’s most deserving staff, with awards on the night for the industry’s unsung heroes and the top performers in the BVRLA’s training courses.
