The Shine Awards celebrate Vizion Network repairers who have delivered outstanding customer service, shown exceptional responsiveness to customers’ needs, and consistently demonstrated the network’s key values.
Rigorous scoring criteria
The winners will be selected based on rigorous scoring criteria or through the company’s own recognition digital platform.

“With our continued growth, it’s more important than ever to have the right teams, repairers, and individuals in place. We are fortunate at Vizion to have excellence in abundance.”
All the finalists have demonstrated a commitment to going above and beyond, standing out from the crowd, and delivering excellence every day.
