Annual conference and networking event for independent garage owners, The Blend has announced Castrol and The Race Group as headline sponsors for this year’s widely anticipated industry gathering, which takes place in Birmingham on 7th October, 2023.
Daytime proceedings will bring garage owners a choice of renowned industry speakers and a trade show, with an evening dinner and awards ceremony completing what promises to be an action-packed Saturday.
The Race Group will host a keynote panel to discuss automotive lubricant trends, with a look ahead at the future direction of lubricants for internal combustion engines (ICE), hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) and battery electric vehicles (BEV). Castrol will also have a prominent display in the exhibition hall, where the latest workshop tools, equipment and services are set to be showcased.
Organised by community-driven garage management software Garage Hive, The Blend 2023 is open to all garage owners. It offers a unique opportunity to meet industry insiders and like-minded peers to discuss industry challenges, opportunities, and business development.
“We’re really excited to have Castrol and The Race Group supporting,” said Ray Dilsons, Managing Director at Garage Hive. “Delegates will have a unique opportunity to tap into a wealth of knowledge during the panel discussion, keynote speech and, of course, during the breaks when visitors are encouraged to engage with our industry experts directly.”
The Blend 2023 is already shaping up to be even bigger and better than last year’s sell-out conference. A wide range of industry and business topics, including fresh tips and advice on how to boost workshop efficiency and performance, will be covered throughout the day with breakout sessions giving delegates a choice of subjects to choose from.
Taking place on Saturday 7th October at The Eastside Rooms in Birmingham, tickets are available to book now at: https://www.theblend.events/tickets.
