Improving Standards
All AVAM members are striving to improve the quality of adaptations supplied to UK drivers and passengers in a number of ways.
The technical committee has been diligently developing a new set of standards that all AVAM members will commit to. This will result in the best possible safety, installation, and customer service standards we have ever experienced in the UK.
The improved technical standards combined with an increase in the support of the installer network has the opportunity to dramatically increase the end-users experience of both product quality and customer support.

Working Collaboratively
The opportunity to develop our knowledge and understanding of the ever more complex production vehicles is made much simple as AVAM members are able to work collaboratively, to overcome Industry-wide technical issues.
It is this collaboration that partly makes AVAM such an exciting development in the industry.

Unified Voice
By working collectively, AVAM members have a unified voice when addressing other larger stakeholders and OEM organisations within the industry.
This unified voice allows members to pool their resources and obtain a larger presence than would have been achieved individually.

Comprised of the vast majority of adaptation manufacturers across the UK, AVAM works together to overcome industry-wide problems and drive the unified agenda for the adaptations industry as a whole.
Collaborating on safety, training, standards and the continued difficulties associated with working on new technologies of OEM Manufacturers.
HISTORY
