A1 Automotive Group Convention Brings Members and Suppliers Together in Mallorca.
Three days of networking, collaboration, business discussions and celebration brought A1 Automotive Group members and suppliers together in Mallorca for this year’s annual convention.
The three-day event provided an opportunity for members, suppliers and partners to step away from the day-to-day, connect with one another and look ahead to the future of the automotive aftermarket.
Set against the beautiful backdrop of Mallorca, the convention combined an engaging programme of business activities with opportunities to relax, socialise and celebrate the successes of the past year.
A warm welcome to Mallorca
The convention began with a relaxed welcome party on the hotel’s sunset terrace, giving guests the perfect opportunity to catch up with colleagues, meet new faces and settle into the weekend.
With stunning views, drinks and plenty of conversation, the evening provided a fantastic start to what would be a busy and enjoyable three days.
Friday: Business, collaboration and celebration
Friday morning began with the A1 Automotive Group Members’ AGM, providing an important opportunity for members to come together, reflect on the year and discuss the Group’s continued development.
The AGM was followed by the Supplier Workshop, bringing members and suppliers together for open and constructive discussions about the business and the wider automotive aftermarket.
The workshop provided an opportunity to exchange knowledge, share ideas and discuss how members and suppliers can continue to work together effectively.
Collaboration remains at the heart of A1 Automotive Group, and bringing members and suppliers together in this way is an important part of building strong, long-term relationships across the Group.
Celebrating success at the Gala Dinner and Supplier Awards
Friday evening saw the focus turn from business to celebration, as guests came together for the Gala Dinner and Supplier Awards at an exclusive setting.
The winners:
Component Product of the Year - Abtex

Guests enjoyed a delicious three-course meal while celebrating the achievements of the past year and recognising the suppliers whose continued support plays such an important role in the success of A1 Automotive Group and its members.
The Supplier Awards provided a special opportunity to acknowledge the contribution, commitment and partnership of the Group’s supplier network.
It was an evening filled with great food, good company and plenty of reasons to celebrate.
Saturday: Time to relax and enjoy Mallorca
Following a busy Friday, Saturday provided guests with some well-deserved time to relax and enjoy their surroundings.
With the day at leisure, attendees could make the most of the hotel’s facilities, spend time relaxing by the pool or explore the local area and experience more of what Mallorca has to offer.
The relaxed pace of the day provided another opportunity for members and suppliers to catch up informally and enjoy time together away from the usual working environment.
Farewell drinks
The weekend was brought towards a close with farewell drinks on the terrace, accompanied by live DJ music and drinks.
The atmosphere remained lively as everyone came together for one final celebration before taking some time to relax by or in the pool.
