NTDAUPDATE Another successful NTDA Tyre Industry Golf Day On Tuesday 4th July, the NTDA held its annual Tyre industry Golf Day and Charity Fundraiser Dinner at Belton Woods Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort in Grantham. 74 enthusiastic golfers took to the Woodside Course and had a fantastic day of highly competitive golfing in sunny, but blustery conditions. Thanks to the generosity of several tyre manufacturers, wholesalers and other member companies who donated raffle and auction prizes, the NTDA raised £1,885 for the Wheelwrights’ Charity at the fantastic dinner held afterwards. Thank you to all golfers, additional dinner guests and to the companies who donated prizes for their fantastic support, we hope to see you all again next year! NTDA says goodbye to Past President John E. Holland The NTDA team was saddened to hear of the passing of John E. Holland who was President of the Association in 1992. John was Managing Director of Associated Tyre Specialists Ltd (ATS) and was a very active and influential member of the NTDA where he also served on the Executive Council for many years. In tribute to John, the guests at the NTDA Tyre Industry Golf Day charity fundraiser dinner held on 4th July gave a 1- minute standing ovation to celebrate his life and contribution to the UK tyre trade. John’s son David told the NTDA: “Dad was very proud of his many achievements in his career and to be remembered by many of your current members would be satisfying to him. He would also have very much appreciated the minute applause by his peers in the tyre industry”. John died on 29th June aged 86 and is survived by his wife, son and daughter. Our thoughts and best wishes are with his entire family at this difficult time. G&S Tyre Services Ltd joins NTDA Leading family run tyre re-treader G&S Tyre Services Ltd in Barking, which recently became a Marangoni Ringtread Network member, has now joined the NTDA as its first independent tyre retreading specialist member. In addition to the outstanding retreading factory, the site at Barking has a dedicated undercover service area for truck tyres and a separate retail outlet for on-site service for cars and vans with a comfortable and well-maintained waiting area. G&S also operates an extensive fleet of 16 mobile tyre fitting vans and 2 artic trucks and all tyre technicians are NTDA REACT licence holders. During a joint visit to the G&S factory on 10th July with Phil Robinson Marangoni’s Senior Country Manager for UK, Ireland and Middle East, NTDA CEO Stefan Hay said: “We are delighted to have a company of G&S’ calibre join us as our first independent tyre re-treader. The NTDA fully supports and is promoting UK retreading. It is imperative, that we commit to the reuse of such valuable resources and encourage fleet operators, and their tyre suppliers to recognise the benefit of professionally manufactured UK re-treads. This form of recycling supports UK employment, the environment and the Green agenda and is a shining example of the circular economy at its best”. Tyre Industry Conference almost fully booked!

IAAF announces first speaker for 2023 conference NEWS The Independent Automotive Aftermarket Federation’s (IAAF) inaugural conference and awards dinner will be back in 2023, taking place on Thursday 7 December, and the federation has revealed its first conference speaker as Nick Leeson. Taking place at the DoubleTree by Hilton, Milton Keynes, the IAAF will once again be bringing inspirational and informative talks, insights and trends from industry experts, plus networking opportunities, announcement of the IAAF award winners, fantastic food and exciting entertainment to the industry. This year’s theme focuses on “the brilliance of resilience” and will discuss how the aftermarket continues to evolve in the ever-changing world. The IAAF has confirmed Nick Leeson as its first speaker signed up to address delegates at the exciting event. The original “rogue trader” whose unchecked risk-taking caused the collapse of Barings Bank, and whose story was turned into a Hollywood movie starring Ewan McGregor. Former derivatives trader, Leeson, is known for bankrupting Barings Bank, the UK’s oldest merchant bank, in 1995. After opening a Future and Options office in Singapore, Leeson became a rogue trader, eventually losing over $1 billion of Baring’s capital as its head of operations on the Singapore Exchange (SGX). Whilst serving his sentence in a Singapore prison, Leeson was diagnosed with cancer. In 1999 he was released from prison and returned to the UK where he proved his resilience and re-built his life. The book he wrote in prison, based on his life, was then turned into a hit film and in 2001 he completed a Psychology degree. Leeson has held various positions over the years including General Manager of Galway United Football Club, rising to CEO of the club before his resignation in February 2011. Mark Field, chief executive at IAAF comments: “We’re delighted to have Nick join us on 7 December to discuss how he brought himself ‘back from the brink’, overcoming huge challenges, mentally and physically, and using his experiences to educate others.” The IAAF’s 2023 event is predicted to sell out fast, so the federation is encouraging the automotive aftermarket to book tickets now to avoid disappointment. Field adds: “We hope businesses in the aftermarket will join us in celebrating our brilliant sector once again and we’re looking forward to welcoming everyone back to the DoubleTree by Hilton in Milton Keynes in December.” For event bookings and hotel information for the IAAF’s Conference and Awards Dinner 2023. please email angela@ impressionuk.co.uk ■ Universal Oil Fired Heaters ■ Oil and gas fired cabinet heaters ■ Suspended oil and gas fired unit heaters ■ Portable and mobile heaters ■ Electric heaters THERMOBILE offers probably the most complete selection of space heaters available to the UK Motor Trade.
