For the past few years, we have aimed to hold an annual conference and networking event for Garage Hive customers. Here comes The Blend 2022 – in Birmingham, September 17th!
It is a community event for you, the garage owner and senior managers, to share your experiences and ideas about the industry with like-minded people and learn from the industry experts.
Learn more about the event and book your tickets here:
It was a full day of presentations and talks from the industry experts – Business knowledge John Batten, HR importance Jennifer Hooper and success story by David Massey. As well as the new Garage Hive feature announcement!
And a relaxed and fun evening networking session at the pub!
The idea was born and we gathered our customers in Nottingham to connect we the team and other Garage Hive members while learning about the software and garage business aspects!
A day to remember, therefore, the initiative to continue this kind of event grew into bigger and better plans for the future!
