CONGRATULATIONS to Steve Cocks who was awarded the Freddie Aldous Outstanding Contribution Award at last night’s BVRLA Dinner at the London Hilton on Park Lane (7 March 2024).
The Lex Autolease Head of Broker received the award from Novuna Vehicle Solutions‘ Managing Director and Chair of the BVRLA, Jon Lawes (above left), along with BVRLA CEO Gerry Keaney (above right).
It was a night of celebration and recognition of the leasing broker channel. Along with Steve’s well-deserved award, XLCR Leasing picked up the Learning & Development Achievement Award while Gofor’s Ross Marshall was a finalist in the Business Builder Award.
Gerry Keaney, announcing Steve’s award, said:
“This year’s winner is a true advocate for the BVRLA and the leasing broker community. Their voice is consistently heard in the right places and their opinions are valued by all. None more so than in the BVRLA’s Leasing Broker Committee, where this individual has been an active participant for over a decade. Such a long, consistent, powerful contribution is what helps the BVRLA deliver great results for members. It deserves to be recognised.”
