RISC 2007: Collision Course

Legislation and the latest vehicle design developments have led to increased costs, disappearing resources and are compromising consumer safety.

Fleet operators, repairers and senior insurance personnel could be at serious risk of criminal prosecution - even jail.

Now in its third year, Bodyshop Magazine’s Refinish Industry Survey Conference – RISC – will take place at the Heritage Centre, Gaydon, on Tuesday 27th March 2007. RISC is aimed specifically at senior executives, decision makers and strategists involved in every facet of the UK accident repair market, including insurers, car makers, paint and equipment manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors, as well as bodyshops and bodyshop groups.

RISC’s team of expert speakers & analysts, including an ex-assistant chief constable, an EU lawyer, a politician, a regulator and a leading consumer advocate will be making full use of the primary source research data generated by Bodyshop Magazine’s Refinish Industry Survey.

What are the risks and what needs to be done?

l     Insurance industry & fleet operators in denial? There are commercial – and criminal - implications. Who is under threat?

l    Will the new industry standard, PAS 125 solve the problem or merely highlight the issues?

l    Lack of the necessary equipment, information and skills - an accident waiting to happen?

l    The massive cost of avoidable electronics resets and systems damage.

l    Are insurance companies on the brink of losing control of vehicle repairs to vehicle manufacturers?

Ensure that you are up to speed with current trends & future directions, capitalising on the chance to identify both impending problems and hidden opportunities, ahead of your competition.
