The Bodyshop Expo 2025 on Tuesday, 21 October at The Belfry will include a brand-new feature we’re calling the KnowledgeXchange.
This is a completely free service and is designed to help solve some of the most pressing issues repairers are facing within their bodyshops today.
The KnowledgeXchange
We asked repairers what topics they need help with and in response to the survey we will be bringing together five industry experts to answer questions about business coaching, succession planning, debt recovery, apprenticeships, and energy cost savings.
Think of it as a collision repair sector advice surgery for bodyshops. If you have a particular issue about which you want some honest but confidential advice, then sign up using the KnowledgeXchange Register Your Interest form and we’ll be in touch to arrange a time for you to meet one of the experts during our Bodyshop Expo on the second day of the two-day Bodyshop Awards & Expo 2025.
The experts will be available from 10:30am to 2:30pm on 21 October in our special KnowledgeXchange hub at the Expo, and repairers will be able to book one-to-one sessions in advance. Individual sessions last for 15-25 minutes and, should you need more time, you can arrange a follow-up call or in-person meeting with the individual expert.
