The Association was founded in 1977 by a group of independent vehicle recovery operators whose primary aim was to raise standards in the recovery industry.
Today AVRO continues to be the leading voice of the industry and operates throughout the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland through 14 regions and is the only representative body with a recognised set of standards.
