MVDA has partnered with an experienced web design company which has delivered e-commerce packages for many small businesses with a range of budgets – including auto recyclers.  Some MVDA members have already taken advantage of this to incorporate the MVDA car pricing system (http://www.mvda.org.uk/content.aspx?id=37).

MVDA is the means by which information flows to and from Government, both UK and European.  We are the means by which our members are warned of new legislation or changes to existing legislation; and the means by which we let Government know the practical implications of these changes to our members and the industry as a whole. MVDA represents professional businesses that recognise their responsibilities.  We will not try to defend the indefensible, but we work hard to ensure that our member’s interests are protected.

The major legislative changes that affect our businesses today are the result of European Directives and through the MVDA’s membership of EGARA (European Group of Automotive Recycling Associations) we are able to provide input both at the European Commission level and at European Parliament level.  This input is vital to both the future of our industry & your business.
