Ford Approved Bodyshop (FAB) Event 2006

The FAB Programme was first established in Europe 12 years ago, and in response to demand from Irish customers, the programme was launched in Ireland six years later. It has been a huge success ever since. Dave Pimlott, Marketing Manager explaime: “Our customers know and trust the Ford brand. They understand that it makes good sense to have their vehicles repaired by the same team that was responsible for building their car”.

The FAB network is approved by many of the leading insurance company's and every year they invite key personnel from the industry to attend a special FAB event. Here the delegates learn about developments made within the FAB network, and also get  an unique opportunity to discuss topical issues directly affecting the collision industry. In addition, the guests also get to experience the hospitality of the Ford Motor Company.

This year's event took place in the prestigious Carton House, where everyone was treated to wild day of off-road driving in the new Ford Ranger
