IAAF set to host two events and exhibit at Automechanika Birmingham 2023

Date: Thursday 06 April 2023

The IAAF will be exhibiting at Automechanika Birmingham 2023, plus hosting two highly anticipated events; the Automechanika Birmingham 2023 Garage Awards and a networking drinks reception for members.

The Automechanika Birmingham Garage Awards 2023, hosted by IAAF and sponsored by LKQ Euro Car Parts, will take place on Wednesday 7 June at Hilton Metropole NEC.

The awards will celebrate the very best of the garage industry and acknowledge the commitment and dedication independent garages and technicians have made to ensuring affordable mobility in the UK over the past few years.

There are eight award categories including Garage of the Year, Best Single-Site Garage, Best Multi-Site Garage, Best Community Initiative, ‘Auto-Mechanik’ of the Year, plus Best Marketing, Best Customer Service and Lifetime Achievement Awards.

Winners will be announced at the exciting event, with drinks, dinner and entertainment provided.

Mark Field, chief executive at IAAF comments:

“Our new awards at Automechanika Birmingham 2023 are an opportunity for us to showcase the best of the best in the industry – and is another step in the right direction for us in bridging the gap between garages and the rest of the supply chain.”

IAAF’s in-demand networking event will take place at the Highline Lake Lounge, Genting Hotel, within Birmingham’s Resorts World entertainment complex, on Tuesday 6 June to tie in with the first day of the show.

Drinks and refreshments will be provided to the federation’s members.

Field adds:

“The first member networking event in 2022 was a great success and it’s another opportunity to not only relax following a busy day at Automechanika Birmingham but to come together with fellow members. The event also serves as an opportunity to thank members for their continued support of the Federation, as we continue to introduce new initiatives and an enhanced member experience.”
