Bodyshop Magazine is thrilled to announce the winners of this year’s 30 Under 30: Rising Stars in partnership with 3M.
It’s been another amazing year of top-quality competition and we can’t wait to celebrate with the winners at the Bodyshop Awards & Expo on Monday and Tuesday, 20-21 October at The Belfry Hotel & Resort in Sutton Coldfield.
Bodyshop editor Simon Wait said as the magazine unveiled its 30 Under 30 winners for 2025:
“Once again it’s been difficult for the judges because of a huge number of nominations and top-quality candidates from across the whole collision repair sector and its supply chain. The 30 winners this year are further evidence that with the right people at the helm, and with the right decisions, our industry has a bright future.
“These 30 talented individuals show what is best about the UK accident repair sector and the winners come from across a wide range of job functions – apprentices and technicians, bodyshop managers, administration, marketing and sales, VDAs and engineers, suppliers and distribution.”
