Two new awards
The National Collision Repairer magazine is thrilled to announce the addition of the two new awards to its renowned Lifetime Achievement Awards, to be celebrated in May.
In 2025, the lineup will include the Excellence in Sustainability Award and the Safety Champion Award, to join its three outstanding awards that recognise the best in the collision repair industry.
The Excellence in Sustainability Award aims to identify and reward business that are passionate and innovative in optimising efficiencies that also help look after the environment. The award is looking for ideas and actions that have made a demonstrable difference in the sustainability of the industry.
The Safety Champion Award is a new award that recognises individuals and businesses who have made strong inroads in workplace well-being.
Without any limitations on the size of the business or the number of employees, this new award highlights those dedicated to making sure everyone gets home safely.
Proud History
Held annually, the recipients of The National Collision Repairer’s Lifetime Achievement Awards are inducted and honoured for their outstanding service to the collision repair industry.
The awards evening also sees further prestigious awards presented on the night: The Next Generation Leader of the Year Award; and The Woman in Automotive Award.
In 2025, these prestigious awards will be joined by special awards dedicated to Sustainability and Safety in the collision repair industry.
The National Collision Repairer Lifetime Achievement Awards began in 2007 and was created to acknowledge the dedication and commitment of the men and women who have contributed to the collision repair industry over and above their “day job”.
The gathering each year represents a who’s who of the repair industry, including sponsors, collision repairers, suppliers, insurers, and previous inductees who gather to celebrate the people that make the industry strong, innovative and supportive.
