As its breast cancer awareness month staff at the AGM Services head office have joined together for their now traditional fund raising raffle in aid of ‘wear it pink day’. The tradition started 12 years ago and as usual staff came to work dressed in pink as well as holding a pink raffle! The day itself raised a total of £140 for the cause.
Faye Smith, Operations Administrator commented. “We take part in this event every year and once again it was a great success.”
Ellie Adam, Senior Fundraising Products Manager at Breast Cancer Now, said, “wear it pink is back this year and it’s bigger and pinker than ever! We are so pleased to have AGM Services take part in wear it pink again. Each year we’re amazed by the number of people who not only wear it pink for the day but who go all out to help us raise awareness of breast cancer. We’re really grateful to every single person who takes part and donates. It’s really inspiring to see so many people having a good time raising money for life-saving breast cancer research.”

Last week AGM services set up their exhibition stand at the Ford Impact conference at the Donington conference centre. The conference and exhibition took place over the 22nd and 23rd October and was deemed a huge success by the AGM Services team.
This year the event was bigger and better than ever and welcomed 740 visitors over the 2 day period. A variety of key note speakers addressed industry topics including vehicle technology, cyber security & 2016… the year ahead.
AGM Services took the opportunity to showcase their new customer information portal at the conference which was extremely well received by the attendees. The customer portal is a market leading, secure portal specifically designed to manage spraybooth documentation, certification and service and maintenance history in one safe, centralised location.
The custom built portal enables easy access to crucial documentation and reports such as test results, certificates, service schedules and bespoke reports. All the relevant records are just a mouse click away, ready for audits and saving precious time locating files.
Wesley Young Sales Director AGM Services commented, “The Ford Impact, Vizion 20|20 exhibition was an excellent platform to launch our market leading portal, it’s the first of its kind in our industry and we’ve generated plenty of interest for it at the Ford Impact show. The show was a resounding success and I’m sure we’ll see you all again next year!”

AGM are thrilled to introduce their NEW Customer information portal. This is a secure portal specifically designed to manage spraybooth documentation, certification and service & maintenance history in one safe, centralised location.
The sophisticated customer information portal enables instant access to vital information such as your service reports, equipment registers, quotations and management reports for all your equipment maintained by AGM Services. All documentation is just a click away, ready for HSE or manufacturers’ audits and saving precious time locating files.
Its user friendly and simple to navigate menu indicates when the next service is due. Breakdown call-outs or services can be easily scheduled. The instant that servicing or maintenance is completed, documentation is available to view and download via a unique login on the information portal.
Wesley Young, AGM Services comments “We’re really excited about the benefits that this new portal has to offer our customers. Having centralised storage for documentation will free up time for our customers to concentrate on the things that matter and yet still have the all-important documentation to hand when it’s required. When we commissioned the portal we wanted to make sure that it not only stored service certificates but that it also provided a whole host of other facilities such as KPI reporting, invoicing and service scheduling. In addition to that it also streamlines the paper work that our technicians are required to produce freeing up their time so they can be more reactive to urgent call outs. It’s a win win situation.”
AGMs customer information portal is a convenient, easy access, tool for independent Bodyshops and larger groups alike. Call us on 01706 363 585 or email us at sales@agm-services.co.uk to learn more about using the customer information portal.

To ensure that those working in a spray booth are not exposed to isocyanate, spraybooth breathing air quality tests must be carried out at regular intervals to determine how long it takes for the mist inside to dissipate making air safe to breathe. This essential breathing air testing prevents the development of occupational asthma in vehicle paint sprayers, whose risk of developing the condition is 80 percent higher than those in other industrial environments.
AGM Services provide thorough spray booth breathing air quality tests and mist clearance tests to determine clearance times, which must then be displayed at the entrance of the spraybooth to ensure all engineers are aware of the clearance time.
We are fully equipped to provide a range of spray booth testing services to ensure all systems are working effectively, clearance times are up-to-date and that air quality is safe after a stated time. We provide the following spraybooth testing services in line with COSHH legislation:
Our spraybooth engineers are fully qualified to provide all the above spray booth testing services and can create an annual package to ensure all tests are carried out on time while greatly reducing the cost to you at the same time. Certification is provided following each test.
To arrange a spraybooth test or enquire about an annual program please call the AGM Services team today on 01706 363585 or fill in our contact form to provide a few simple details about your spraybooth equipment and we’ll get back to you.
