It has just relaunched a regular newsletter that has been specifically written for garages. The latest issue of IAAF Garage News is packed with news, information and advice that is relevant to the success of today\u2019s independent workshops.<\/p>\n<p>The IAAF has also issued two other newsletters: Firstly, IAAF News addresses issues relating to the passenger car independent aftermarket and is aimed at motor factors and suppliers; and, secondly, IAAF CV Bulletin is dedicated to IAAF\u2019s growing commercial vehicle section membership. All the newsletters also highlight the benefits of being a member of the IAAF.<\/p>\n<p>Brian Spratt, IAAF chief executive, said: \u201cThere are various issues at play in the independent aftermarket that garages, motor factors and suppliers aren\u2019t always aware of and could quite easily fall foul of if they don&#8217;t have the facts at their fingertips and are fully up to speed. With the support of the trade media and through our internal communication initiatives, we\u2019re here to promote and protect the future of the independent aftermarket and sharing important information is central to our aim.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As well as publishing bespoke newsletters, the IAAF also communicates with its members through its dedicated website (www.iaaf.co.uk) and ever-popular weekly eBulletin. It also plans to launch Facebook and Twitter social media channels in the coming months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Independent Automotive Aftermarket Federation (IAAF) has implemented a new communications strategy that will ensure UK garages, bodyshops and\u00a0 motor factors and suppliers are kept fully up-to-date with the latest trade association activities as well as news and advice on issues that are affecting the independent aftermarket.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2954","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Communication is key for IAAF - Bodyshop.ie<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bodyshop.ie\/index.php\/communication-is-key-for-iaaf\/2954\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Communication is key for IAAF - Bodyshop.ie\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Independent Automotive Aftermarket Federation (IAAF) has implemented a new communications strategy that will ensure UK garages, bodyshops and\u00a0 motor factors and suppliers are kept fully up-to-date with the latest trade association activities as well as news and advice on issues that are affecting the independent aftermarket.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.bodyshop.ie\/index.php\/communication-is-key-for-iaaf\/2954\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Bodyshop.ie\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2013-05-15T08:53:19+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2013-05-17T09:26:57+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Connor ORourke\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Connor ORourke\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.bodyshop.ie\/index.php\/communication-is-key-for-iaaf\/2954#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.bodyshop.ie\/index.php\/communication-is-key-for-iaaf\/2954\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Connor ORourke\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.bodyshop.ie\/#\/schema\/person\/31e44d4fb39e559103a06e9fe0af7c73\"},\"headline\":\"Communication is key for IAAF\",\"datePublished\":\"2013-05-15T08:53:19+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2013-05-17T09:26:57+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.bodyshop.ie\/index.php\/communication-is-key-for-iaaf\/2954\"},\"wordCount\":305,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.bodyshop.ie\/#organization\"},\"articleSection\":[\"News\"],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.bodyshop.ie\/index.php\/communication-is-key-for-iaaf\/2954\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.bodyshop.ie\/index.php\/communication-is-key-for-iaaf\/2954\",\"name\":\"Communication is key for IAAF - Bodyshop.ie\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.bodyshop.ie\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2013-05-15T08:53:19+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2013-05-17T09:26:57+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.bodyshop.ie\/index.php\/communication-is-key-for-iaaf\/2954#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.bodyshop.ie\/index.php\/communication-is-key-for-iaaf\/2954\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.bodyshop.ie\/index.php\/communication-is-key-for-iaaf\/2954#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.bodyshop.ie\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Communication is key for IAAF\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.bodyshop.ie\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.bodyshop.ie\/\",\"name\":\"Bodyshop.ie\",\"description\":\"Ireland&#039;s Publication for the refinishing &amp;
