Final Countdown to Fix Auto UK’s 2025 National Conference Has Commenced…

2025 will be a commemorative year for Fix Auto UK and Partners as its National Conference will celebrate success, milestones and new innovations at the ‘Evolve’ themed event.  

A record number of delegates and exhibitors are set to gather for The Group’s 20^th anniversary event at The Vox Conference Centre on May 7^th & 8^th. Impressively, the two-day conference will also be the stage whereby Presenting Partner 3M will officially launch RepairStack™, the company’s latest innovative system designed to improve efficiency and profitability when managing consumables.  

Once again, delegates will be left enthralled by the panel of expert speakers who will cover key topics relevant to The Group’s growth and innovation pathways, all hosted by TV’s Mr Wheeler Dealer himself Mike Brewer.  

Leading Artificial Intelligence expert Priya Lakhani OBE will uncover the real role of AI in our businesses with her extensive entrepreneurial and advisory experience.  

Heralded by Sir Richard Branson as one of the UK’s most exciting entrepreneurs, Ben Towers will enlighten the audience on the true power of a business’s digital footprint and how the new generation approaches the world.  

Fix Auto UK’s own ESG Manager Cheryl Chung will host a panel discussion featuring Apprenticeship Central’s Commercial Director Eleanor Baker Barnes and Fix Auto UK apprentices Teagan Whiteman (Fix Auto Newport) and Victor Silva (Fix Auto Dagenham).  

Closing the informative presentations is Harvard Business School alumni Riaz Shah who will step on stage and delve deeper into global megatrends, generational shifts and how true leaders should respond.  

Ian Pugh, Managing Director for the Advantage Group of Companies, said: “2025 is our 20^th anniversary. Over the two decades, the business and our network has grown exponentially and our ‘evolution’ will be reflected and celebrated throughout. Our event has been nearly a year in the making and no stone has been left unturned to ensure it will be yet another hugely memorable occasion and one of celebration.” 

Lee Roan, Regional Division Leader for 3M’s Automotive Aftermarket Division for North Europe, added: “We are delighted to once again be the Presenting Partner for Fix Auto UK’s National Conference. I know Ian and his team have, as ever, pulled out all the stops to make sure it will be yet another hugely successful event.  

“It is so apt this year’s event is themed as evolution as it provides us with the perfect platform to officially launch RepairStack™ which truly is evolutionary in managing consumables to improve efficient and profitability. Firmly established in America with more than 4,000 repair centres already using the system, we are delighted to finally bring it to the UK, the conference provides us with the perfect platform and audience to finally begin showcasing it to our UK market. Personally, I can’t wait.”
