bodyshop Awards 2021 nominations flood in

Nominations have been flooding in for the bodyshop Awards 2021 and 30 under 30: rising stars initiative.

Just weeks after the official opening, we have received dozens of submissions across the 18 award categories and 30 under 30.

The Powered by Vizion bodyshop Remit Technician and Apprentice Awards recognise both experienced and apprentice-level MET, panel, and paint technicians across the industry, while the 30 under 30: rising stars recognises the brightest young achievers in collision repair.

You can either nominate yourself or you can submit a colleague, business, VDA, vehicle manufacturer or educator, plus bodyshops of different types and sizes that you feel deserve recognition for the great work they do.

These prestigious awards are recognised throughout the industry and are a way of appreciating the stand-outs among us.

The 15-member panel of independent judges is scheduled to convene in September, with finalists being announced later that month.

Exciting new categories for 2021 include the Insurer of the Year and New Technology Award, which will be voted on by repairers.

Is there someone you work with or have worked with who really inspires you, who goes the extra mile, supports you and your colleagues when times are tough, and offers a helping hand?

You can nominate them online for the bodyshop Awards 2021 here or if they’re under 30 years old you can nominate them for our 30 under 30: rising stars initiative here.

Make sure to get your nominations in ahead of the closing date of 6 August.

The exciting in-person awards ceremony will take place on 17 December 2021 at the ICC Wales, with host Penny Mallory returning to deliver an unforgettable evening.

Special thanks to all our bodyshop Awards 2021 sponsors, including lead partners Axalta, Solera Audatex and 3M, which also supports the 30 under 30: rising stars initiative.

We very much look forward to welcoming you all in December.
