Messe Frankfurt UK, the team behind Automechanika Birmingham, has revealed an impressive roster of headline sponsors and launch partners for Motorvate, the groundbreaking not-for-profit initiative tackling the UK automotive industry’s talent and skills crisis.
Taking place alongside Automechanika Birmingham from 3rd – 5th June 2025 at the NEC, Motorvate has already secured support from key players, including Toyota GB, European Tyre Enterprise Limited (ETEL), LKQ Euro Car Parts, Autotech Group and the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI).
Further support comes from a range of supporters, including 3D group, Castrol and The Race Group, part of Certas Group, Hella, Alliance Automotive Group, Society of Motor Manufacturers & Traders (SMMT), Independent Automotive Aftermarket Federation (IAAF), School of Thought, and the National Body Repair Association (NBRA).
With a strong and growing backing, Motorvate is fast becoming the industry’s flagship platform to address the growing skills and talent gap.
Anne Blight, Head of Loyalty and Engagement at LKQ Euro Car Parts, highlighted the event’s critical role, saying: “We’re so proud to be sponsoring Motorvate 2025, an amazing event designed to spark innovation and foster the next generation of talent in the automotive industry.
“Motorvate isn’t just about igniting interest, it’s also an event for career development. By connecting students, professionals, and industry leaders, this event provides invaluable opportunities for mentorship, skill-building, and networking. Our goal is to help individuals at every stage of their career journey gain the tools, knowledge, and connections they need to thrive in this dynamic industry.”
Messe Frankfurt UK is urging businesses to seize this opportunity and join the growing list of sponsors and partners supporting Motorvate. By coming on board, organisations can actively contribute to addressing the skills shortage while showcasing their commitment to the sector’s future.
