Bapcor recently held its Trade Expo at Wellington’s TSB Arena. This was the first opportunity for our team to engage with customers and suppliers at this scale since pre-Covid and with over 40 suppliers in attendance from across Europe, Australia, Asia, and NZ. Our customers came from all over the lower North Island to catch up on the latest products and news in the automotive aftermarket. The Expo was a massive success with customers taking full advantage of the huge deals on offer for the day, ranging from tools to equipment there were deals for everyone. A lucky customer also took away a Holden Commodore for their workshop from one of the many giveaways on the day.

The Expo was followed by the two-day Bapcor Leaders’ Summit with over 120 team leaders from across the country in attendance. The week culminated in the Bapcor Gala & Awards Evening held at Te Papa where we recognised and celebrated the nominees and winners from across BNT, Autolign, HCB, Precision Equipment NZ, JAS Oceania, Diesel Distributors, NZ Brake Co, and Truck & Trailer Parts. All of this was made possible due to our supplier’s generous sponsorship, The Key Sponsors for these events were: – Australian Clutch Services, Clarios / Varta, Filpro Automotive, CM Trailer Parts, Fuchs Lubricants and Plan B.
