Aftermarket Show Returns to NEC

The Aftermarket Show is gearing up for next year’s event, following a successful 2008 exhibition this January. The self-styled “must-attend event for all automotive service industry professionals” takes place at the Birmingham NEC from Thursday 8 – Sunday 11 January 2009, and is currently open for trade visitor registration. The event is being supported by Car and Accessory Trade magazine, while the organisers promise a continuation of the Talkshop tool, which provides a free forum for exhibitor-visitor interaction.

This year’s event – held in January – was attended by nearly 4,100 dedicated aftermarket industry trade visitors, in addition to over 23,800 Autosport International trade visitors. More than 56,700 end users of automotive products walked the exhibition floor over the long weekend, representing an estimated spend of £3.2 Million on car and motorsport related products.
