Attendees at the Autopro National Members Conference in Auckland have announced that the event was the largest and most successful in the brand’s 27 year history.

Held at the Sky City Grand Hotel and Convention Centre in the first week of August, the conference included the presentation of a number of awards handed out to members and suppliers.

Autopro Northam’s Bevan and Tina Penny were awarded the Autopro Store of the Year award.

General manager of operations for automotive brands, Grant Jarrett, said We wanted to ensure both the members and attending suppliers not only found the event informative and a tool for business growth but also a chance to mingle with their peers and enjoy the sites and sounds of Auckland.

A number of business workshops were held over the course of the five day event, with guest speakers including John Anderson, founder of Contiki.
