FUCHS UK Hosts Automotive Media Day

FUCHS LUBRICANTS (UK) plc was pleased to host an Automotive Media Day where journalists from leading automotive publications and local press were able to meet with FUCHS personnel key to the Automotive Division - Russell Kenyon, Head of Automotive, Andy Brown, UK’s Technical Manager and Sally Travis, UK Marketing Manager. Publications in attendance included:

• Garage and MOT Professional
• PMF - Professional Motor Factor
• Car Mechanics 
• Commercial Vehicle Workshop
• Stoke Sentinel

Following a presentation by Russ, the group then were given a factory tour to see the complete manufacturing process - delivery of Raw Materials through to final packing warehouse as well as the Quality Control and R&D laboratories. FUCHS packaging innovation the 5 litre and 20 litre Lube Cube were of particular interest to the visitors

A spot of fun during lunch was provided, a touring car simulator challenge, by FUCHS sponsored British Touring Car Championship Team Ciceley Motorsport - driver Adam Morgan and Commercial Director Norman Burgess.  Adam provided the first lap and challenged the visitors to try and beat his time.  Adam said that some were ‘a little too close for comfort’!

The day finished after a final Q&A session with the FUCHS Automotive team. Those attended said that they found the day extremely interesting and enlightening and had provided many topics to report back on into their respective publications.   

FUCHS LUBRICANTS (UK) plc thank all who came and look forward to moving forward together in the future.
