Overview:
The ABP Club is once again taking to the road to deliver four Business-to-Business Forums and EXPO specifically for bodyshops at different regional venues round the UK in March 2011.
The Forums will be held in the morning and will be FREE TO ATTEND for all delegates - both Club member and non-member businesses.
Registration will be from 8.30am when tea/coffee will be served in the extensive exhibition area giving you the chance to network with colleagues and find out the latest industry developments. The meeting starts at 9.30 and concludes with lunch and exhibition at 1.15pm - there will be plenty to do and see, so arrive early!
Thought provoking and forward thinking presentations will be given by leading industry organisations and speakers aimed at providing practical guidance and free of charge business development ideas for today’s bodyshop proprietors / managers / supervisors.
We are delighted that Thatcham and BSI will be presenting on latest vehicle technology and the latest on the PAS125 Kitemark standard, respectively.
Also, find out how to drive more traffic to your website and explore ways to reflect on your business processes.
For the first time at the B2B Forums, there will be an extensive exhibition area (EXPO) at each of the four Forums, giving you the very best opportunity this year to get information first hand and to stay ahead of your competitors.
Rationale:
Our previous B2B Forums in 2009 and 2010 proved to be a huge success for ABP Club members and non-members alike. Over 350 delegates attended last year's regional Foums, therefore we are delighted to be taking to the road once again - only this time, the Forums will be Bigger and Better with the addition of an exciting EXPO area!
We fully recognise that 2011 will continue to be challenging for all involved in the body repair market – both bodyshops and suppliers – therefore more than ever, we believe bodyshops need to keep abreast of market conditions, changes that may affect their business and therefore must have access to good information from quality suppliers that can help their businesses.
Why B2B and EXPO?
Like last year, there are few opportunities for bodyshops to meet colleagues and suppliers in one location, therefore ABP Club is delighted to hold theses FREE OF CHARGE regional Business to Business Forums and EXPOs to assist you to network with insurers/accident managers and industry suppliers in order to raise and debate issues that have a direct effect on your business:
If you are a Bodyshop Proprietor, Manager or Supervisor - we'd be delighted to see you at one of the B2B Forums
