Championing Standards in Vehicle Conversions: Tom Pearson Chairs VBRA Group Meeting

This month, our Commercial Director Tom Pearson had the honour of chairing the latest VBRA Commercial Bodybuilders Group meeting, hosted by DHOLLANDIA Global at their Huntingdon Service Centre.

The VBRA (Vehicle Builders & Repairers Association) plays a vital role in driving quality, safety, and compliance standards across our industry. These regular meetings bring together leaders from across the sector to collaborate on key topics, share insight, and shape the future of vehicle conversions.

Key topics discussed included:

• Elite standards for bodybuilders
• Apprenticeships and attracting new talent
• ADAS guidance and future regulation
• Sustainability and the transition from PAS 2060 to ARIES

Tom Pearson shared: “As a group, we emphasise the significance of aligning industry standards on quality, compliance, and innovation, all underpinned by sustainable methodologies. It’s a genuine honour to chair the VBRA Commercial Bodybuilders Group and support the sector’s commitment to best practices and conversion safety.”

Thanks again to DHOLLANDIA for hosting and to everyone who continues to raise the bar in our sector.
