Chris and Georgia are gearing up for the Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA) Conference in October! When they're not at the APS booth, there's a good chance you’ll find them at the bar. Swing by for some great chats and hear how we're working with Auto Recyclers around the globe – don’t be shy, come say hi!

Great to have eBay Australia as the platinum sponsor of this event. EBay’s commitment to a sustainable supply chain of professional green parts suppliers should be acknowledged and respected.

Last week we attended the Auto Parts Recyclers Association of Australia (APRAA) conference where we connected with recycled parts sellers and learned about some of the exciting innovations driving this $2-billion industry forward. eBay’s Head of Auto Parts and Accessories Courtney Graham was joined by eBay sellers JJ Auto Parts and Tasmanian Auto Recyclers, demonstrating the online opportunity for recycled parts businesses. This was followed by a session with James Sheringham helping sellers get the most out of selling on eBay. The team also learned more about the positive impact these businesses drive for the environment with ~70% recovery rate of end of life vehicles, showcasing just how important continued focus in recycled parts in Australia is.

We’re thrilled to share that the APRAA 2024 conference on the Gold Coast was a huge success! It was fantastic to see so many industry professionals come together, and the positive feedback has been overwhelming. A special thank you to our Platinum Sponsor, eBay Australia, and our Gold Sponsor, Manheim Australia, for their outstanding support. We also extend our sincere thanks to our other sponsors: Podium, BidBuddy, Parts Plus Australia, CarTakeBack.com Ltd and Sayers. We also want to acknowledge and thank all our speakers and panel guests. The valuable insights shared on stage and the active participation from the audience were key to making this event a success. We’ll be sharing more photos of the event soon—stay tuned!

A fantastic event to be a part of. IBIS Australia 2024, held in the Grand Ballroom of Sydney’s Four Seasons Hotel, has been hailed a huge success after attracting a full house of delegates from all sectors of the body repair industry. Hosted by IBIS Worldwide in partnership with BodyShop News International, the conference built on the success of last year’s BodyShop News International Collision Congress (BICC). The conference tackled the big issues affecting the industry, such as dealing with rapidly evolving technology, leadership, attracting and keeping staff, improving body shop efficiency, and reducing operational stress. The importance recycling plays in body repair was another key issue.

Proud to be partnering with United Recyclers Group LLC

Chris Daglis will be speaking at the upcoming: IBIS INTERNATIONAL BODYSHOP INDUSTRY SYMPOSIUM. His session topic: The Bodyshop of the Future. You know everything we do at APS is with a clear strategy to bring the automotive recycling industry into the future with as little disruption to business as possible. In this talk, Chris will be expanding on this concept and providing new ideas and concepts to innovate your business today for maximum results. One such clear opportunity he is determined to see improve is the relationship between collision repairers and recyclers. Recycled parts are critical as a sustainable solution in the repair industry and Chris wants to bridge the gap of understanding between both parties. Date: 23-24th July 2024 Location: Four Seasons Sydney Organised in partnership with our friends at BodyShop News International Pty Ltd

10 reasons why you should not come to the APRAA 2024 Conference: ▪ You don’t like making money. Learning how to increase your business profits isn't of any interest to you. ▪ You hate the sun. The Gold Coast’s glorious weather is definitely not for you. ▪ Networking isn’t your thing. Who needs new industry connections anyway? ▪ Learning is overrated. Who needs to know the latest trends and insights in automotive recycling? ▪ You prefer your bed. QT hotels’ fabulous beds just can’t compete. ▪ You dislike fun. Poolside beers and cocktails, a morning surf, and a great bunch of social, fun industry colleagues to spend time with? No thanks. ▪ You’re allergic to luxury. The QT Gold Coast is just too much. ▪ You’re too busy. Who has time to mix business with a bit of paradise? ▪ You’ve seen it all. There’s nothing new for you in the world of automotive recycling. ▪ You can’t handle a good time. Because APRAA 2024 is all about having a blast while you learn and grow. In all seriousness - you need to get booking. We are locking in some seriously great sessions and vendors - so if you're planning on coming to APRAA - NOW IS THE TIME TO BOOK https://lnkd.in/gzaFdAhG
