bodyshop magazine is delighted to announce more of the finalists for the bodyshop Awards 2022.
With close to 300 top-quality submissions this year, it has been a difficult job for our judging panel of industry experts who rose to the challenge on Wednesday, 7 September during Jury Day at the bodyshop magazine offices in Tring.
“A massive thank you to all our judges, event partners and everyone who took the time to complete their entries this year, and the very best of luck to all the finalists across all 17 of our award categories,” said bodyshop editor Simon Wait.
“In addition to those being announced today, there is one more category to be decided – the bodyshop Insurer of the Year – which is being voted on by repairers as we speak this week. The finalists in that category will be announced on Friday.”
Our finalists in the bodyshop VDA of the Year Award presented by the IAEA, the four Powered by Vizion – bodyshop Remit Panel and Paint Technician and Apprentice Technician of the Year categories, the all-new Powered by asTech – bodyshop Thatcham Advanced Technologies Technician of the Year award, and our 30 Under 30: Rising Stars in partnership with 3M winners have already been announced.
All the winners of the bodyshop Awards 2022 will be unveiled, recognised and celebrated during bodyshop LIVE at ICC Wales on 12 October 2022.
Don’t forget to get your tickets for the big day and make sure you register for our daytime bodyshop Expo, which returns this year for the first time since 2019.
