Schaeffler’s activity-packed REPXPERT Conference is on 14th May 2026 at the British Motor Museum in Warwickshire
Schaeffler’s REPXPERT Conference is fast approaching, and it promises to offer visitors a day full of activities and networking opportunities.
The day will start at 9am with registration, breakfast and a chance to chat with other delegates. Host for the day, Tom Henman, will then introduce IGA Director, Jonathan Douglass, who will talk about the current hot topics affecting workshops. TV star, Fuzz Townshend, will then share stories and amusing anecdotes from his long and varied career as a mechanic, drummer and TV star.
After a short break for refreshments the popular Garage Forum makes a return, featuring five garage business owners and directors happy to share their thoughts about the aftermarket. The lineup will feature Tim Guidotti, more commonly known as The Fleet Guy, Simon Powney from Markhams Garage, Tom Cockings from RCMR, Peter Whieldon from Williams Garage and Andy Wells from AutoworksHQ. The panel will discuss current affairs and issues affecting the industry, with each speaker able to give opinions using their own experiences and specialisations.
After lunch, the breakout rooms and TechZone will open. There will be a choice of four varied breakout sessions; Louise Baker, Colin Denton and Eleanor Baker-Barnes discussing apprenticeship and training opportunities, Tim Guidotti focusing on the benefits of fleet work, Quentin Le Hetet providing an update on the market and how to adapt and, finally, Schaeffler’s Alistair Mason, who will talk about the ever changing technologies coming to the aftermarket.
Alongside the breakout rooms will be the TechZone, which will provide visitors with information and networking opportunities with various workshop service providers. Exhibiting in the TechZone will be Ben, who will be hosting the merch stand and Involution, displaying the clothing ranges available in the bonus shop. Two other bonus shop brands, Laser and DeWalt, will also be demonstrating the tools and equipment that you can exchange your points for. Other supporters include Schaeffler themselves, The IGA, TechMan, ALLDATA, AutoCare, 1TEC Auto Hub and Servicesure.
