HEAR FROM OUR EVENT PARTNERS
Carlo Baragona
“Since 2016, Purchase Direct has proudly sponsored Fix Auto UK’s National Conference - a partnership that has played a significant role in building a strong, trusted relationship with the Fix Auto UK head office and its wider network.
This collaboration has become a key element of our growth strategy, contributing to measurable success across the board.
Today, 84 of the 134 repairers in the UK network are Purchase Direct members and have saved over £1,000,000 - a clear indicator of the value this partnership delivers.
For a procurement specialist like ourselves, visibility among key decision-makers is essential. Our continued sponsorship of the National Conference has allowed us to connect directly with leaders across the automotive repair sector, including Franchise Partners and suppliers. This exposure has reinforced our reputation within The Advantage Group of Companies - where Fix Auto UK sits within - as a reliable and results-driven procurement partner.
More than just visibility, the Conference offers invaluable opportunities for face-to-face interaction. It allows our team to engage directly with Fix Auto UK franchisees and listen to their challenges, enabling us to provide tailored procurement solutions that reduce costs and improve operational efficiency. Many of these conversations have led to long-standing client relationships, with franchisees benefiting from our services in areas such as utilities, waste management, telecoms and much more.
Our ongoing sponsorship of the Fix Auto UK National Conference has proven to be a strategic success. It has consistently delivered brand visibility, fostered long-term customer relationships, strengthened our credibility through association with Fix Auto UK and contributed directly to business growth. In turn, Fix Auto UK and its Franchise Partners continue to benefit from our expertise and support - reinforcing a partnership built on trust, collaboration and shared success.
We look forward to seeing many of you at next year’s event.”

WHAT OUR FRANCHISE PARTNERS SAY…
Erika Woolacott
“As part of a third generation family-run business with over 52 years of history, I’ve seen how vital strong relationships are to long-term success. Our core values of Passion, Integrity & Respect, guide everything we do, and they are especially important when it comes to working with our supplier partners. In a turbulent industry, we want and need partners we can rely on and trust. The presence of suppliers at the conference creates an opportunity to build genuine connections. Its more than just networking – its about aligning goals, building trust and strengthening the collaborative spirit that will drive our industry forward the right way. These interactions help us better understand each others challenges and priorities and ultimately lead to more effective partnerships. For us, supplier relationships are not just transactional, they’re foundational. The conference reinforces that we are all part of the same ecosystem and when we support each other, we all succeed.”

“When we joined Fix Auto, we didn’t just join a network – we joined a community of people who think the same way we do about business, standards, and customer care. From the outset, we realised how important it is to surround ourselves with like-minded businesses who are prepared to share ideas, support each other, and work towards common goals.
Running a business can sometimes feel like you’re on your own, but being part of Fix Auto has shown us the opposite. The collaboration, the openness, and the willingness to learn from each other has been a huge part of our journey. It’s given us confidence, helped us grow, and proved that when you connect with the right people, you can achieve so much more than you ever could alone.
Looking back, being one of the first to take that step was one of the best decisions we’ve made – and it’s because of the people and the shared mindset that makes Fix Auto what it is today.”

“After joining Fix Auto we attended our first Fix Auto National Conference at the Belfry in 2012 and we have never missed any of them since then , it’s the highlight of the year for me when it comes to networking and meeting likeminded people from our industry, the effort ,detail and timing is always perfect and now bigger and better than ever , so the opportunity over two days to interact and build new and lasting friendships and relationships with franchisees, suppliers and insurers to me is essential in business plus with it being over two days you can just enjoy it and give time to someone that’s just perhaps started with the Fix Auto journey and to me that’s what being part of Fix Auto UK is all about and attending the National Conference each year is an essential to help your business grow and stay in front of the rest .”
