The Best of Belron 2024 event brought to MEO Arena more than 1,700 participants from 34 countries, who stayed in around 20 hotels in the city of Lisbon.
The Belron group, a global leader in the repair, replacement and recalibration of vehicle windows, operates in 40 countries, with a team of over 28,000 employees serving more than 14.9 million customers each year. Belron holds the Best of Belron event every two years, where the world's best technicians compete in a series of glass repair, replacement and recalibration challenges to find the best of the best!
Prior to the start of the competition, several parallel events were held, beginning on June 10 with the Leadership Meeting, which brought together 200 of the industry's top executives, followed by a gourmet dinner.
With the arrival of the 30 competitors, their teams and supporters, there was time for a moment of relaxation with the organization of an arraial (organized outdoors eating and drinking) that gave a taste of Lisbon festivities to the various participants.
The first day of the competition took place on June 12, beginning with the opening ceremony where Richard Tyler and Robert Sterke welcomed all the participants and introduced the 30 contestants, their teams and more than 60 judges who ensured during the competition that everything was done according to the Belron brand's high quality standards.
In addition to the competition, the event featured the Belron Client Conference, under the theme Today to Tomorrow, which brought together various speakers to discuss the most important current trends and challenges that we will most likely face tomorrow.
The competition day ended with the Partners' Dinner, bringing together all the partners from the Belron universe, who traveled to Lisbon to attend this event - the brand's most important one.
Yesterday, the second and final day of the competition, the excitement continued as each competitor finished their tests and we got closer to finding out who the big winner of the 2024 edition would be.
The awards ceremony, part of the event's closing gala dinner, revealed the Canadian competitor David Chester as the best glass repair, replacement and recalibration technician.
Throughout the night, entertainment was provided by the New Amsterdam Collective and DJ João Garcia.
