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.
We asked repairers what topics they need help with and, as a result, we will be bringing together five industry experts to answer your questions about business planning, debt recovery, apprenticeships and HR, 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 and confidential advice, then sign up below and we’ll be in touch to arrange a time for you to meet one of the experts during our Bodyshop Expo.
The experts will be available from 10:30am to 2:30pm in our special KnowledgeXchange hub at the Expo, and repairers will be able to book one-to-one sessions in advance using the KnowledgeXchange Register Your Interest form below. 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.
The five experts for this year’s event will be:
- Business Coaching: Robert Snook | BSG
- Energy Savings: Sam Matthews | ECA Business Energy
- Apprenticeships: Eleanor Baker Barnes | Apprenticeship Central
- NBRA Services: Martyn Rowley | NBRA
- Succession Planning: Nicola Sutherland | NS People Partners
