Bosch, Service King join IBIS line-up

Jeff McFadden is the president of Service King, an organization that has grown into a national leader in the US collision repair industry. Joining the company in 1988, Jeff has nearly 30 years of experience at every level of the business.

As president, Jeff is heavily involved in all aspects of Service King’s mergers and acquisitions resulting in its explosive expansion and status as one of the world’s biggest collision repair groups. Jeff is uniquely placed to talk with authority on several key issues affecting the current market, including the skills shortage and what Service King is doing to lead the way.

Bosch develops and produces systems and components for all major vehicle manufacturers around the world. The conference session will explore the triangle of electrification, autonomous drive and connectivity technology and how its forcing the global auto industry to rethink how cars will operate in the future, and therefore how to repair and service them.

The connected and digitised repair centre will be key in this process and Bosch will be presenting their views and approach on this future strain of the industry.

The theme for 2017’s Global Summit is ‘The Currency of Trust’, and both sessions will be highlighting the importance of good collaboration and the benefits of cross-industry relationships. The event is only possible with the support of our partners 3M, AkzoNobel, Audatex, Enterprise Rent-A-Car and Fix Auto World.
