The chief executive of the BVRLA, John Lewis, has announced that he will be stepping down from his post in the spring/summer of 2013.

Representatives from the BVRLA’s committee of management are currently finalising a recruitment and handover plan. Lewis will continue to work part-time at the association for a further year to ensure a smooth transition.

“In the meantime, I will continue to focus on the many challenges our industry faces,” he said.
