Automechanika Birmingham will tackle all the major issues affecting businesses in the automotive aftermarket, according to Event Director Simon Albert.

The event, which takes place from 5 to 7 June at Birmingham NEC is specifically geared towards meeting the needs of end users including garages, bodyshops, tyre fitters, motor factors, retailers and franchised dealerships. Simon says this will be achieved not just in terms of highlighting new products, but with advice and support on running an automotive business, both now and in the future.

With an exhibitor base set to be the most proactive yet, visitors will also benefit from the event’s thriving seminar programme. Details of this programme will be released closer to the event and these seminars are sure to draw crowds as they have done in previous years.

This year, the show will have a dedicated "Garage Quarter” for the growing number of garages attending the event and an enhanced programme of live events featuring live technical demonstrations, free training and keynote speakers.

Simon added: "Automechanika Birmingham 2018 is an event for every company in the aftermarket to come together, share ideas and express opinions on how to move business forward. With so much happening in the trade, the event has become a ‘must attend’ for automotive personnel looking to develop their business now and in the future.”

This year’s event at the NEC Birmingham, running from 5-7 June 2018, will welcome vehicle production exhibitors in Hall 6, aftermarket suppliers in Hall 20 and a dedicated Garage Quarter in Hall 19. The show event attracts many visitors from Ireland as its location right next to Birmingham Airport makes travel straight forward.
