We’re proud to share that our colleagues at Tayna Batteries have stepped in to support RSPB Oldham as teams respond to the ongoing wildfires affecting parts of Wales. To assist crews working across challenging hillside terrain, Tayna supplied quad batteries to power vehicles used to access remote areas and support frontline response efforts. With wildfire activity placing significant strain on local wildlife and the people working tirelessly to protect it, the team recognised an opportunity to give back and provide practical support where it was needed most. At AAG, supporting the communities we serve is at the heart of what we do across our entire network. We’re proud to stand alongside organisations like RSPB Oldham that are making a real difference during difficult times. A huge thank you to the RSPB teams for everything you’re doing, and to our colleagues at Tayna Batteries for supporting the local community.

That's a wrap on the Garage Network Roadshow 2026. 🚗 Over the past two weeks, we travelled the UK, bringing together independent garages, industry experts and valued partners across five fantastic locations. The Roadshow provided our garage with valuable industry updates, business growth strategies, technical insight and opportunities to network with fellow garage owners from across the country. A highlight of this year's programme was our exclusive visit to the Alliance Automotive Logistics distribution centre in Rotherham, where garages experienced first-hand the advanced automation, stock management systems and logistics operation that help keep garages supplied and customers moving. Across every event, members heard from Stacey Eade on industry developments, market trends and opportunities to generate more work, while technical expert Tim Stock delivered practical technical knowledge designed to help workshops stay ahead in a rapidly evolving market. We were also delighted to welcome our Roadshow partners TechMan, Workshop Pro, Payment Assist and Everywhen, who shared solutions and services designed to help garages improve operational efficiency, customer retention, profitability and business performance.
