NBRA Greener Bodyshop Awards celebrate sustainability
Fix Auto Manchester East has secured a prestigious Gold Greener Award at the NBRA Greener Bodyshop Awards.
Held at the CBS Arena in Coventry, the NBRA Greener Bodyshop Awards attracted a record number of guests with more than 400 repairers, suppliers and insurers celebrating outstanding environmental achievements in the sector.
Fix Auto Manchester East received the award in recognition for its continuous efforts to reduce its carbon footprint and introduce more sustainable operations.
This is the second year in a row Fix Auto Manchester East has been recognised with a Gold Greener Award.
James Gore, managing director, said: “We have long been working towards transforming our entire operation into a more sustainable and as ecologically friendly as possible. To receive a Gold Award for a second successive year is a remarkable achievement but one that reflects our continuous drive to operate a greener business.
“As I said last year, we are extremely proud of our achievements though we believe there’s still plenty to do. Being recognised once again by the industry is really humbling and I truly thank the NBRA.”
Six of the best
Fix Auto Manchester East is one of six Fix Auto UK franchisees to be recognised at the event.
Fix Auto Mid Devon, Fix Auto Newton Abbot, Fix Auto Redhill and Fix Auto Rochester each received Silver Greener Awards, while Fix Auto Leicester and Fix Auto Mid Devon were also named as finalists in the Bodyshop Staff Wellbeing Award.
Fix Auto Leicester was also named as one of the five finalists in the Sustainability Award.
Mark Hutchins, operations director for Fix Auto UK, said: “What an incredible night and all credit has to go Martyn Rowley and all at the NBRA. It’s hard to believe that, just several years ago, running a greener, more sustainable, bodyshop wasn’t a priority for most and yet, here we are, we are all quite rightly, ensuring it is of paramount importance.
“Hearing the Fix Auto UK name being called out so many times in front of such of prestigious audience was incredibly humbling.”
