Bodyshop reveals all finalists for Bodyshop Awards 2023

Bodyshop Magazine has today unveiled all of the remaining finalists for the Bodyshop Awards 2023.

With well over 300 submissions this year, it has been a difficult job for our independent judging panel of industry experts who rose to the challenge on 2 August during Awards Jury Day at the Bodyshop Magazine offices in Tring.

Bodyshop editor Simon Wait said: “A massive thank you to our judges, our event partners and everyone who took the time to complete their entries this year, and the very best of luck to all the finalists across our 18 award categories.”

The finalists in the Bodyshop VDA of the Year presented by the IAEA, the four Powered by Vizion – Bodyshop Remit Panel and Paint Technician and Apprentice Technician of the Year categories, and the Powered by asTech – Bodyshop Thatcham Advanced Technologies Technician of the Year award have already been announced and can be found here, while the winners of this year’s 30 Under 30: Rising Stars in partnership with 3M are listed here.

The winners of the Bodyshop Awards 2023 will be unveiled and celebrated during the Bodyshop Awards & Expo at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole on 28 September.

Don’t forget to get your tickets for the big day and make sure you register for our daytime Bodyshop of the Future Expo, which will take a deep dive into the collision repair industry of tomorrow.
