The IAAF will be running a series of 7 Industry Briefing Meetings around the UK during 2017.

These sessions are being headed up by Mike Smallbone, Membership Development Manager, and are designed to keep IAAF members up-to-date on some of the challenges, and opportunities, facing the Independent Automotive Aftermarket. These meetings are free of charge for members and are aimed typically at &ldquo,middle managers&rdquo, although they are of course open to any IAAF member employees who might benefit from such a session. ,

Guest speaker will be Quentin Le Hetet (GIPA UK)  ,Quentin is an aftermarket expert who has managed numerous aftersales market intelligence projects in the UK. He will draw on GiPA&rsquo,s 30 years international experience in automotive aftersales intelligence to provide insightful analysis of how the industry is moving.

Quentin will be presenting two key topics that are relevant to our industry and its future:
 ,
  • What will be the impact of extending the MOT period to four years on the UK automotive aftermarket?
  • What is the future of parts distribution in the UK? ,

The first of these sessions will be held at Sales&ndash,i in Solihull on Thursday 16th March starting at 10.00 am and finishing at 1.00 pm with lunch. Spaces are limited so booking early is advisable, and can be done by emailing Ann Silvester at the IAAF - anns@iaaf.co.uk ,
