News 15 www.aftermarketonline.net July/August 2024 In association with Register now to join us for The Aftermarket Event There is still time to join your fellow industry peers for The Aftermarket Event at Farnborough International — a unique, two-day live event, dedicated to the UK garage sector. Farnborough has always been the nation’s go-to destination for the pioneers of today and the future and YOU can be part of this exciting event, on October 2-3, which will translate the unmissable mix of information, technology and skills seen across all the aftermarket platforms into a mustattend happening for everyone working in and around the garage trade. The Aftermarket Event will feature an exhibition, interactive workshops, informative seminars, comprehensive training and more, with exhibitors from across the sector offering a fresh window on our vibrant industry. LKQ Euro Car Parts CEO Kevan Wooden will deliver the keynote address on the opening day of the event. The first day will also include an update on the independent garage sector by the IGA’s Jonathan Douglass. Castrol & The Race Group’s, Dan Bridges and Dave Roberts will take the audience through ‘Understanding the right oil for your workshop and the challenges of belts & DPFs’ including the basics of understanding oil, the importance of fitting the right oil and OEM approvals. Day 2 promises highpowered panel discussions on the subjects of ‘Healthy Retention in the Aftermarket’, featuring Jennifer Webb, Director of HR Vitals, Ellen Plumer, Head of Outreach at Ben and Ambi Singh CEO of Easy 2 Recruit and ‘Mixed business? Are EVs still THE future?’ with Andy Crook and Peter Melville Technical Director at HEVRA ‘The evolving shape of the Aftermarket’ with speakers from Delphi and LKQ Euro Car Parts. The Event aims to tackling key questions across the sector such as: O With an ongoing skills crisis, it makes good business sense to look after the staff you have, but how do you do that? O What will workshops need to do over the coming years in order to stay relevant and profitable? O With the 2030 ICE ban rolled back to 2035, are EVs still set to be the future of motoring? Could today’s mixture of drivetrains become the format for the future? Castrol & The Race Group are the event’s Headline Sponsor — with Distrigo Parts Distribution as a Registration Sponsor. With further backing from major sector organisations including the GEA, IGA, RMI Standards and Certification, HEVRA and the British Compressed Air Society (BCAS), support for this industry-leading event is growing exponentially.
