At the beginning of November 2009 AVRO and RRRA the two largest established Recovery Associations in the UK reached an agreement which encompasses working together on Industry related issues. This liaison between the Associations goes forward in promoting unity in the industry enabling national issues affecting their respective members to be addressed with the knowledge that both organisations are aiming to achieve the same common goal. Gary Satchwell (AVRO) and Lorraine Grantham (RRRA) have been appointed contacts between both Associations.
