2027 is shaping up to be a busy year on the road for the Leading Solvents team. We'll be exhibiting at two of the UK's biggest trade shows, both at the NEC in Birmingham: ChemUK in May and Automechanika Birmingham in June.
Each show gives us the chance to meet a different side of our customer base. At ChemUK, we'll be talking bulk chemical supply, hazardous waste and compliance with procurement teams and manufacturers. At Automechanika, our IVAT and Car-Chem brands take centre stage for bodyshops, refinishers and detailers.
