I\u2019m really looking forward to having honest conversations with the delegates and helping to show that the motor trade is an exciting, inclusive industry with space for anyone willing to get stuck in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Denton agrees with Baker, saying: \u201cI\u2019ve had the pleasure of working with Schaeffler for a few years now, and what is clear to me is how much the team cares about the industry. They show this by hosting events such as the REPXPERT Conference, and by providing free training opportunities for students and apprentices through their Wrenches &amp; Wisdom campaign.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tim Guidotti, who is also taking part in the Garage Forum during the morning conference, said: \u201cI am very excited to be speaking at the Schaeffler REPXPERT Conference, where I will be sharing my successes with fleet work and helping garages understand this often misunderstood, but rapidly growing area of the industry.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The automotive industry is changing fast and as independent garages we have to be able to adapt and change to secure our future. The REPXPERT Conference is a great way for garages to get informed, updated and ready for what lies ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Quentin Le Hetet commented: \u201cI was involved in the REPXPERT Conference last time and it was such a success, I\u2019m pleased to be presenting again this year. I found the last time Schaeffler hosted this event, the attendees were very engaged and willing to adapt and learn, so I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll have a similar atmosphere this year, with a lot of enthusiastic technicians!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bringing back one of its most popular features of its last REPXPERT Conference, Schaeffler has announced the presenters for its afternoon breakout sessions for this<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":78574,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,1],"tags":[1494],"class_list":["post-78573","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aftermarket","category-news","tag-schaeffler","cat-7-id","cat-1-id","has_thumb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 -
