Recycled parts promoted through Allianz UK project
Allianz UK is launching a vehicle repair project to support apprenticeships and highlight the benefits of recycled parts.
The project will see apprentices repair a damaged vehicle that will then be sold at auction, with proceeds donated to charity.
The initiative involves apprentices repurposing a Category N total loss vehicle at a dedicated Allianz sole site with the Vella Group.
Once fully restored and certified for safety and quality, the vehicle will be auctioned through Allianz’s salvage partner, IAA, with all funds raised donated to Barnardo’s, a long-standing partner of Allianz.
Michael Golding, motor network manager at Allianz UK, said: “This project is a good example of how Allianz is embedding sustainability and social responsibility. By repairing and repurposing a vehicle that would otherwise have been sent to salvage, we’ve not only reduced waste but also created opportunities for apprentices to develop critical skills.
“Most importantly, the funds raised will make a meaningful difference to social causes. We’re incredibly proud of what this initiative has achieved and grateful to our repair and supply chain partners for their support.”
Marc Holding, Vella Group CEO, added: “This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase both apprenticeships and sustainable repairs, while supporting an amazing charity. We’re proud to be part of this innovative project with Allianz, which demonstrates how strong partnerships can drive real progress for our industry.
“By bringing together skills, sustainability, and collaboration, we’re helping to develop the next generation of technicians while highlighting what’s possible through more sustainable repair methods.”
