Mechanic and motorcycle racer turned television presenter, Guy Martin, will officially open The Big UK Garage Event at Automechanika Birmingham 2019, held at the NEC from 4 to 6 June.

The Morris Lubricant’s brand ambassador will “cut the ribbon” and open the doors to the launch of The Big UK Garage Event at 9.30am on Tuesday June 4th, welcoming visitors from all areas of the automotive industry. Later he will be on the Morris Lubricants stand and give an interview at 1:45pm in the Aftermarket Seminar Theatre.

After a highly successful motorcycle road racing career, more recently Guy has been presenting a TV series which has included a series of speed-based challenges. He is also a best-selling author and newspaper columnist.

With visitor registrations significantly up from this time in 2018, Automechanika Birmingham is set to successfully unite the automotive industry again this June. The event then won’t return to the NEC until 2021.

Comprising main areas for the Aftermarket and The Big UK Garage Event, more than 500 exhibitors will pack into Birmingham NEC as they promote their products and services to the expanding visitor audience of independent garages, motor factors, retailers, bodyshops and dealerships.

The Big UK Garage Event is geared towards helping garages grow their business and will offer exclusive show deals, big giveaways, competition prizes and celebrity appearances from 7 BTCC drivers and TV mechanic Edd China. Garages will also benefit from free technical training in the Workshop Training Hub and Bodyshop Training Hub, all accredited by the IMI.
