Reps from Banner Batteries, Brembo, Dayco, ZF, DENSO and MAHLE Aftermarket will be present

OESAA Academy Live

The Original Equipment Suppliers Aftermarket Association has announced that Suffolk New College will host OESAA Academy Live on Friday 31 March and Saturday 1 April.

Following the debut success at Lincoln College and the imminent event at Castleford College (24 and 25 February), OESAA is moving the roadshow to East Anglia.

Held on Friday 31 March at Suffolk New College in Ipswich, current college students will be invited to participate in a series of bespoke sessions. These will focus on vehicle and product innovation, diagnosis and repair. Learners will also be treated to an audience with inspirational industry speakers, all of whom will share their automotive journey and highlight potential pathways into the industry.

Trade professionals, meanwhile, are invited to join OESAA members on Saturday 1 April. They’ll be offered a masterclass, learning about similar topics to the students but in more depth and practical in today’s workshop environment.

For instance, Banner Batteries is set to make its OESAA Academy Live debut. Russell Shea will explain why the demand for lead-acid batteries is set to increase exponentially in the next 20 years. This despite the rapid emergence of lithium-ion batteries within the automotive sector following the development of EVs and hybrids.

Meanwhile, representatives from Brembo, Dayco, ZF, DENSO and MAHLE Aftermarket have all confirmed their attendance and will offer presentations. Laser Tools, Schaeffler with a REPXPERT van and Garage Services Online will have a presence in the workshop arena.

OESAA chairman, Nigel Morgan, said: “We’re busy putting the finishing touches to the Castleford College preparation, yet we’re already busy planning ahead, such has been the enthusiasm and desire from colleges, like Suffolk New College, to host these type of events.

“We want to futureproof the industry in both the short and long-term and believe OESAA Academy Live can help achieve that.”
