Stuart Still (Technical Trainer) and Ben Kendrick (UK Sales Manager) from European Exhaust and Catalyst (EEC) recently attended the A1MS Spring Trade Show at St. George’s Park, Burton on Trent, marking another highly successful event for the company.
Reflecting on the show, Ben Kendrick shared his thoughts: “Yet another fantastic A1 trade show! These events are invaluable for strengthening our relationships with A1 Motor Stores members. It was great to engage with attendees, understand their specific needs, and discuss ways to help them grow their emissions business. The conversations we had over the two days were insightful and productive, reinforcing the importance of collaboration within the industry.”
Stuart Still echoed Ben’s sentiments, emphasizing the unique format of the event and its benefits for both suppliers and attendees. “The A1MS Spring Trade Show provides a fantastic opportunity for suppliers and members to connect in a relaxed and engaging environment. The evening before the exhibition, members had the chance to network with suppliers over dinner, which helped foster a sense of community and strengthen business relationships.
“The following day, the main trade show allowed members to explore supplier stands, interact with products firsthand, and gain insights into the latest developments in the industry. This hands-on approach is essential, as it allows members to fully understand the quality and innovation behind the products they stock and sell.
“For us at EEC, it was a great platform to showcase our extensive product range, discuss new additions, and highlight the ways in which we can support A1 members. Our training programs, product knowledge sessions, and comprehensive new-to-range offerings are all designed to help businesses maximize their potential. Additionally, our after-sales support ensures that customers receive ongoing assistance, reinforcing our commitment to long-term partnerships.”
Stuart continued, “Over the two days, we had meaningful discussions with A1 members about industry trends, upcoming challenges, and how EEC can assist in driving their success. The engagement and enthusiasm from attendees were fantastic, and it was clear that there is a strong appetite for continuous learning and business growth.
“The event was a resounding success, not only for EEC but for everyone involved. Strengthening our relationship with A1 Motor Stores and its members is always a priority, and this trade show provided the perfect setting to do just that. We are already looking forward to next year’s event, where we hope to build on the connections made and continue supporting the industry with our expertise and innovative solutions.”
With another successful trade show behind them, EEC remains committed to helping A1 Motor Stores members thrive in the emissions market, ensuring they have access to the best products, training, and support available.
