Gerry Keaney

Throughout the challenges that 2020 ushered in, Gerry led the BVRLA and adapted its processes to ensure it could continue to support its members and their customers. The BVRLA secured removal of the VED surcharge for BEVs over £40,000, and also obtained longer-term clarity on company car taxation. Gerry believes that the ability to deliver the UK’s road transport decarbonisation goals rests with the fleet sector and that BVRLA are leading the transition to cleaner vehicles. Its 1,000-plus members buy around 80 per cent of all BEVs, and Gerry has made it clear to regulators that the industry can be a key partner to delivering the UK’s zero emission goals.
