This week’s episode of The Blend Podcast is a special one. Released just before The Blend 2025, it’s all about community, connection, and why this event means so much to independent garage owners across the UK and Ireland.
In this heartfelt episode, we hear from garage owners, sponsors, and members of the wider automotive community reflecting on what The Blend represents: support, shared experience, and the power of coming together in an industry that can sometimes feel isolating.
From postponed hikes and charity runs for Ben, to powerful stories of mental health, loss, and resilience, this episode captures the real people behind the garages. You’ll also hear from partners like The Race Group, talking about what’s in store at The Blend this year, from breakout sessions and giveaways to panels tackling recruitment and training challenges head-on.
Whether you’re attending The Blend for the first time or you’ve been part of the community for years, this episode will remind you why “together we are stronger.”

Becoming a Shark: Chay’s blueprint for garage success
Our latest guest has faced his share of challenges, has made some bold decisions, and differentiated his business in ways that have set him apart from the local competition.
Today, he's not just running a garage. He’s leading a team, shaping a brand, and preparing to take the stage as a speaker at The Blend in Birmingham later this month.
Chay Blythe of Fife AutoTech, voted as the 'Community’s Garage of the Year' at The Blend last year, joins us on podcast to tease the talk that he’ll be presenting at The Blend 2024.
The Blend takes place on Saturday 28th September, 2024 at The Eastside Rooms in Birmingham.
