BRIT names new chair
Body Repair Industry Trailblazer (BRIT) has elected Christine Maskill, managing director of NCR Bodyshops, to chair the group.
BRIT is the group formed by the merging of the AutoRaise and Collision Repair Sector Group to provide continual development and management of their five new apprenticeship standards: Paint Technician; Panel Technician; MET Technician; Accident Repair Technician; and Vehicle Damage Assessor.
The group comprises of 33 members from across the whole spectrum of the UK vehicle repair industry, 20 of whom are employers of apprentices.
BRIT has taken responsibility for ensuring these standards remain current and compatible with the ever-evolving vehicle repair industry.
Maskill said: “I’m delighted and honoured to have been elected to chair the group. There is a lot to do straight away and I am keen to get cracking. Our first task is to build a drafting panel to review the current Accident Repair Technician EPA and at the same time, bring the group together virtually so we can understand how we can build a platform for continued positive change through the development and training of young people in our brilliant industry.”
