Event 2024
Visitor registration is now open
for the UK Garage and Bodyshop
Event, which is set to return for
its second edition at the NEC in
Birmingham on 5th and 6th June
2024.
This one-of-a-kind national event – with free parking and
breakfast provided – promises to provide an unparalleled
opportunity this year for garage and workshop professionals
to access dynamic training, cutting-edge technologies and essential
tools for their trade.
With the UK Aftermarket undergoing significant transformations,
including the shift to EV and ADAS-enabled technologies, coupled
with rapid advancements in service and repair technologies, the
importance of attending such an event has never been more crucial
for garage owners and technicians.
The event will bring together 180 leading suppliers, including ZF,
Bosch, Hella, Alliance Automotive Group, Snap-On, Comma, LKQ
Euro Car Parts, Niterra (formerly NGK), Castrol, GSF and much more,
as well as over 5,000 garage professionals, providing a platform for
interactive exhibitions, live demonstrations, workshops and panel
discussions led by industry experts.
Visitors will be able to access practical skills training from 80+
experts. Renowned industry experts will lead technical seminars
across four dedicated training hubs, covering topics such as engine
fault diagnostics, MOT, diesel, ADAS, and more.
A key feature will include the Modern Garage, sponsored by
LKQ Euro Car Parts, which will take place for business owners and
managers looking to equip themselves with the tools, technology
and expertise to service and repair modern vehicles effectively and
profitably.
New for 2024, the the UK Garage & Bodyshop Event will also be
launching its official student programme on 6th June 2024 for the
first time at the show.
Delivered with partner, Autotech Group, the student programme
aims to engage fresh talent and showcase the array of real-life,
exciting and prosperous opportunities within the ever-evolving, and
increasingly complex, sector.
The Workshop Training Hub will offer a packed programme of
technical seminars addressing advancements and challenges facing
the service, repair and maintenance sector, including new topics like
EV service and repair and introducing ADAS to a garage’s business.
The Workshop Management Hub will present an essential
programme for garage owners and managers looking to improve
business operations, profitability and future-proofing strategies.
There will also be the opportunity to get involved in the Live
Garage Workshop, where visitors can experience expert advice and
demonstrations from industry leaders, with new product launches
and a focus on modern vehicle servicing and repair.
Alex Jones, marketing director for the UK Garage and Bodyshop
Event, said: “After a hugely successful inaugural show two years
ago, we’re really looking forward to its second instalment – it’s a
must-attend for garage professionals seeking to stay ahead in an
ever-evolving industry.
“With access to cutting-edge technologies, expert training,
and invaluable networking opportunities, attendees will gain the
knowledge and tools needed to thrive in today’s automotive
market.”
