A new association has been launched in Scotland, the aim being to address issues arising out of different geographic and demographic conditions, which prevail in Scotland. Differences exist too in political structure - for example the Highways Agency does not exist in Scotland. Transport Scotland deals with roads and we have direct access to the Scottish Parliament to address and resolve matters that might elsewhere be handled by the Highways Agency. It therefore seems sensible to set up this body in order to focus on the issues pertinent to those Recovery Operators based in Scotland, just as there were issues pertinent to London Operators who subsequently set up LARO. There is no reason why the best resources in Scotland cannot be harnessed together to provide complete support across many common issues within the Recovery Industry. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER and shared knowledge will surely empower more people in Scotland to survive and grow in our industry. The new association is the Scottish Vehicle Recovery Association, otherwise known as the SVRA. It is often necessary to deal with certain issues in a very specific way and this is why it is felt the SVRA will be able to give that extra support to Scottish members, with local issues being targeted. |
