David Cresswell, Chairman of ABP Club adds “We were overwhelmed by the positive response and success of the Ireland meetings in previous years.  The range of supplier’s exhibiting at the meetings helped to raise the profile of the meetings and having PPG and Nexa Autocolor as our headline partners really gave us that added gravitas to attract repairers from across Ireland. We couldn’t be happier to have PPG and Nexa Autocolor sponsoring the events again. It is a pleasure to work with them.”

The National Meetings will take place in September at two great venues. The first meeting takes place on Tuesday 8th September in Croke Park, Dublin at 9:30 – 1pm, followed by the second meeting taking place on Wednesday 9th September at the Europa Hotel in Belfast from 4:30pm – 8pm.
