Bodyshop Magazine is today announcing all of the remaining Bodyshop Awards 2026 finalists in the bodyshops and supply chain categories.
The winners will be unveiled live on stage on the second day of an exciting new repairer community event – Bodyshop Magazine LIVE 2026 – which will take place on Wednesday and Thursday, 14-15 October at The Belfry Hotel & Resort near Birmingham.
Bodyshop Magazine editor Simon Wait said: “With nearly 450 quality nominations coming in, it has made the job of our independent panel of industry experts even more difficult this year. But they rose to the challenge at Eyebox Training & Conference Centre last week, and today we are happy to announce all the finalists in the non-technical categories.
“While we have previously unveiled the finalists in the apprentice and technician categories, today’s announcement covers Small, Medium and Large Bodyshop of the Year, Bodyshop Group, and Bodyshop Manager of the Year, as well as all the categories from the supply chain side of the industry including Technical Training Provider, Work Provider, and the two new categories for the ADAS Services sector and Bodyshop Software,” he added.
To celebrate with the best of the best from the industry, sign up for Bodyshop Magazine LIVE 2026 and this year’s Bodyshop Awards.
