Times are changing everywhere, no more so than in the motor world. We are moving from place to place at such a fast rate that’s it’s often hard to keep up. How we go about making our journey is getting more and more complicated. No longer can you think I’ll simply get into the car that’s on my drive and head to my destination. Nationally towns and city’s are intent on improving their air quality and with that the vehicle (certainly diesel & petrol cars) that you drive is considered a pollutant. Bristol is planning to ban diesel cars from the city centre and Birmingham has recently announced that it is going to plan to ban cars traveling through its city centre all together. Such big changes need big thinkers in the car industry to come together and work out how to best to react to this quickly changing environment.
I’ve photographed the British Vehicle Rental Leasing Association (BVRLA) conferences biannually for the past 7 years. The conferences offers expert analysis and debate giving delegates the vital insight they need to inform their business strategy and deal with key operational issues.
The images below are from the Mobility Conference held at the ICC in Birmingham. I first met up with Nina Bell (BVRLA Chair), Gerry Keaney (BVRLA Chief Executive) and Andy Street (Mayor of Birmingham).
