Highlights from the BPA Members’ Dinner 2025: A Night of Celebration and Support

27th November 2025

Last night, the DCBL team traded our daily operations for black ties and ball gowns as we headed to the historic Drapers’ Hall in London for the 2025 British Parking Association (BPA) Members’ Dinner.

As Gold Sponsors of this year’s event, it was a night we had been looking forward to for months – and it certainly didn’t disappoint.

Celebrating Industry Excellence

The BPA Members’ Dinner is always a highlight of the calendar, offering a rare chance for the parking and debt recovery sectors to come together, pause, and reflect on the past year.

Set against the backdrop of the magnificent Drapers’ Hall, the evening began with a sparkling wine reception that set a celebratory tone. It was a privilege for DCBL to deliver the Welcome Address, setting the stage for an evening of fine dining and even better company. We are incredibly proud to support an organisation that does so much to drive standards and community within our industry.

Laughs and Generosity

While the networking and dinner were superb, two other elements stole the show.

First, the entertainment. The unique and hilarious Milton Jones took to the stage, and his signature one-liners had the entire room in stitches. It was the perfect way to unwind after a busy year for the sector.

More importantly, however, was the serious business of fundraising. The evening featured a silent auction in aid of the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association. We were moved by the generosity of the attendees. Seeing our industry peers dig deep to support such a critical cause was the true highlight of the night.

Looking Ahead

Events like these remind us that while we may work in a competitive and fast-paced industry, we are also a tight-knit community capable of doing great things together.

Thank you to the British Parking Association for hosting a spectacular evening, and to everyone who stopped by to chat with the DCBL team.

We are already looking forward to seeing what 2026 brings for our industry!
