While the dust may have barely settled on Fix Auto UK’s record-breaking 2024 National Conference, the network is delighted to reveal 3M has immediately signed up to secure the leading ‘Presenting Partnership’ sponsorship position for its 2025 event.
Such was the success of the recent Conference which brought together close on 400 delegates including industry leaders representing some of the world’s leading vehicle manufacturers, insurance companies, paint manufacturers, aftermarket parts suppliers and Fix Auto UK Franchise Partners, 3M have lead the charge to take centre stage in 12 months’ time.
The 2025 Fix Auto UK National Conference will once again be staged at The Vox Conference Centre within the National Exhibition Centre complex near Birmingham, the dates for the two-day event have also been set for Wednesday, May 7, and Thursday, May 8.
Stephen Osborne, Sales Manager (South) for 3M, commented: “3M has long been associated with Fix Auto UK, its franchises and, of course, its National Conference. By investing in being the Presenting Partner for 2024 has taken our partnership to a whole new level. Seeing our branding, and the level of our branding, at every turn, both during the activity day and actual Conference really took us by surprise. It has certainly further cemented our relationship both with the network and Franchise Partners. For us, signing up to return as the Presenting Partner for 2025 was an easy decision to make.”
Mark Hutchins, Operations Director for Fix Auto UK, added: “It was again incredible to witness just how our National Conference has become a cornerstone event in the UK collision repair market. Hosting close on 400 hugely influential delegates along with many Franchise Partners really sums up just where our conference now sits in the industry calendar and while we are all celebrating another monumental success, the fact several key sponsors including our Presenting Partner 3M have immediately pledged their support speaks volumes.”
