AUTO LOCKSMITHS
2025: A year of growth, innovation & milestones
As we close the chapter on 2025, it’ s the perfect time to reflect on a year filled with trade shows, digital events, training opportunities, and exciting new products. Together, we’ ve achieved growth, strengthened connections, and delivered real value to the locksmith community. Let’ s revisit some of the highlights that made this year memorable.
A year of tradeshows & industry events:
This year, one thing was clear: every trade show was buzzing with energy. We kicked things off at LockExpo in Nottingham, launching our first digital event with prizes, training webinars, and exclusive discounts. Soon after, we joined our sister company OSCA at Mechanex Harrogate, connecting with a fresh audience of automotive professionals.
Automechanika at the NEC attracted even larger crowds. Visitors explored hands-on demonstrations with top tools from brands such as Autel, Xhorse, and Lonsdor, and learned more about our training courses, designed to develop practical, real-world skills.
The most significant buildup was to the highly anticipated MLA Expo in October, the biggest locksmithing event of the year. As Garage sponsors, we enjoyed hosting seminars, unveiling a new brand, and offering discounts of up to 50 %. Our stand featured an interactive reaction game for credit vouchers, and we had a great time collaborating with Xhorse as their official training partners. It was wonderful to connect with so many attendees and provide valuable solutions for their businesses.
We concluded the year at the Mechanex show in Surrey, the final automotive trade show of the year. The face-to-face interactions at all events were invaluable, strengthening our industry connections and reinforcing our commitment to providing our customers with the most advanced tools and equipment available.
