With more than 800 exhibitors, including over 250 companies exhibiting for the first time, automotive parts distributors, garages, tyre fitters, retailers, dealerships and vehicle manufacturers now have the opportunity to learn about the latest innovations and product launches taking place throughout the aftermarket and supply chain.

What’s more, industry experts will present a comprehensive programme of more than 60 seminar sessions and topical discussions on current industry issues and pioneering technology over the course of the three days.

A number of product launches will also dominate the show as leading automotive companies are set to reveal exciting, innovative plans for the future and the effect upon motorists.
