Lifetime Achievement Awards

The National Collision Repairer Lifetime Achievement Awards ceremony is held annually. The recipients are inducted and honoured for their outstanding service to the collision repair industry.

The criteria for induction are: a minimum of 20 years in the collision repair industry, contributions to the industry beyond the scope of their local area, contributions to the industry beyond the scope of their direct employment and nomination from within the industry.

We congratulate the past recipients, shown below and acknowledge their lifetime in our industry as their contributions have made it the vibrant, cutting-edge industry of today.
