Pagid gives UK garage a gamechanging<br />
£10,000 makeover<br />
through Workshop Winners<br />
Pagid, the UK’s<br />
biggest braking<br />
brand and part<br />
of TMD Friction,<br />
has awarded a UK<br />
workshop a £10,000 upgrade,<br />
through its Workshop<br />
Winners campaign, which<br />
took place this summer.<br />
ABP Motorsport’s Chris<br />
Meredith entered the Workshop<br />
Winners competition<br />
after purchasing Pagid brake<br />
parts from his local Euro<br />
Car Parts. After over 12,500<br />
Shorts<br />
entries, Chris was drawn as<br />
the grand prize winner.<br />
Chris was presented with<br />
the cheque for £10,000 by<br />
Head of UK Sales for TMD<br />
Friction Nick Hayes and<br />
Euro Car Parts Marketing<br />
Director, Bill Stimson.<br />
<strong>The</strong> cheque allows ABP<br />
Motorsport to choose from<br />
the biggest range and best<br />
workshop equipment from<br />
Euro Car Parts Workshop<br />
Solutions - with Pagid picking<br />
up the tab.<br />
Ford opts for Europe<br />
Ford Motor Company, taking aim at Europe’s fastest-growing<br />
vehicle segment, has now started production of the new Ford<br />
EcoSport small SUV at its Craiova, Romania, assembly plant.<br />
<strong>The</strong> decision to build the new EcoSport in Europe rather<br />
than continue to import the vehicle from Ford’s plant in<br />
Chennai, India, will help Ford respond to rising customer<br />
demand.<br />
Chris Meredith, Managing<br />
Director of ABP Motorsport,<br />
commented:<br />
“I’ve been purchasing<br />
Pagid for over six years now.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y were the first to coat<br />
their brake discs to prevent<br />
corrosion when standing<br />
still. I admire the OE quality,<br />
availability and the premium<br />
packaging. Our customers<br />
appreciate the way<br />
they look too.<br />
“Lots of our equipment<br />
here at ABP needs upgrading,<br />
especially our MOT<br />
bay. <strong>The</strong> money will help<br />
us to make the necessary<br />
improvements and will<br />
kick start our bigger plans<br />
to make substantial investments<br />
to benefit our team<br />
and loyal customers.”<br />
<strong>The</strong>re have been many<br />
more winners in the Workshop<br />
Winners campaign too,<br />
with instant wins including<br />
18-piece pneumatic wind<br />
back toolsets, 10-piece pro<br />
brake toolsets, Workshop<br />
Winners t-shirts and A3 retro<br />
signs.<br />
Sylvie Layec, Sales Director,<br />
IAM at TMD Friction,<br />
commented:<br />
“Workshops across the<br />
UK are working tirelessly<br />
day in, day out to serve their<br />
customers. Through our<br />
Proud to Fit garages, we already<br />
reward hard-working<br />
mechanics, but this summer<br />
we wanted to go one step<br />
further.<br />
“Through the £10,000<br />
ABP Motorsport has won,<br />
we expect to see a significant<br />
impact that will reward<br />
the garage for all their hard<br />
work. We are looking forward<br />
to seeing the effect this<br />
prize will have and the upgrades<br />
they make.”<br />
Pagid will continue to support<br />
and reward UK garages<br />
with further promotions<br />
throughout the year. Keep<br />
