The Independent Automotive Aftermarket Federation (IAAF) annual awards and dinner 2018 has been hailed as one of the largest of its kind in many years, as it once again welcomed key aftermarket professionals to celebrate another successful year of business, growth and innovation.

Professionals congregated in state-of-the-art surroundings, as they were presented with the opportunity to network over a five-course meal and reflect on the industry happenings and achievements of the past 12 months, including a round-up from Wendy Williamson, IAAF chief executive, as the IAAF bid farewell to Lawrence Bleasdale, who is due to step down as President of the IAAF at the AGM in February before current Vice President Terry Knox takes over the role.

Guests were kept entertained throughout the course of the evening by IAAF’s guest speaker, TV and radio comedian and bestselling author, Tony Hawks.

It was great to see so many faces gathering in one place to celebrate the achievements of our winners, who we’d like to congratulate wholeheartedly.”
