Bodyshop Magazine – the UK’s leading automotive collision repair media and marketing resource – has stood proudly at the centre of this rapidly evolving marketplace since it was launched by Chris Mann and David Young in 1987.
MAGAZINE
Bodyshop, the industry’s leading monthly independent publication, is IPSO-regulated and ABC-audited, meaning it upholds the highest standards of journalism and is the only magazine in our sector that has a verified readership and circulation. It is mailed directly to a closely monitored database of industry leaders and decision makers, as well as the end-users who influence purchasing decisions. A digital interactive edition of Bodyshop is available online along with a host of regular extras.
AWARDS & EXPO
Launched in 1997, the Bodyshop Awards continue to be the highlight of the UK crash repair market calendar and include the industry’s only fully independent awards programme. A key part of the Bodyshop Awards is the magazine’s 30 Under 30: Rising Stars initiative, first held in 2017, and our daytime Bodyshop Expo. Association with such an occasion is a genuine opportunity to place your brand at the heart of the industry, promote interaction and celebrate success.
IBIS
A genuine global community for the leading figures within the automotive collision repair industry, the International Bodyshop Industry Symposium (IBIS) continues to spread its reach to all corners of the world via the IBIS Global Summit and its portfolio of regional and national events.
