SPONSOR AND GUEST EVENT FEEDBACK
JAMES FRAPE, COMPASS, HEADLINE SPONSOR.
“What a cracker of a night. To think this started off in a pub with an attendance of
50 to now 300 people all dressed to the nines. Can’t wait for next year on the Gold Coast!”
KIRSTEN DODD, BASF AUSTRALIA
“BASF were proud to be a sponsor of the Paint & Panel Bodyshop Awards. It was incredibly rewarding to see the passion for this industry is alive and well and the joy that recognition brings to everyone who works so tirelessly to ensure not only the sustainability of their business, but also the industry. It is encouraging to see a new generation of people entering the industry who will continue to grow and contribute to the future.
Wonderful to be able to meet in person again, the amount of people who attended the event, shows that networking opportunities were sorely missed over the last two years. A huge thank you to the Paint & Panel team and also Two de Force for the hard work from the co-ordination of judging to the event delivery.”
LANA PAGIAMTZIS, FIX AUTO MULGRAVE
“An amazing evening held by Paint and Panel thoroughly enjoyed by all our team from Fix Auto Mulgrave. The venue, food and entertainment was spectacular and ending off the night with music and dancing was awesome.
Thank you for bestowing Fix Auto Mulgrave with such an honour and this special award, we feel overwhelmed and grateful for the recognition.”
STEVEN BRETT, AXALTA
“A great night: well presented and very well attended. Congratulations again to all the finalists.”
SARAH KARAVASILIAS, MPSR GROUP
“My, my, my! Didn’t everyone dress up to the nines! We had a great night, it was lovely to catch up with everyone face to face! For me, it was nice to put a face to the name as well.”
GLENN AND TAMMY O’DONNELL, NORTH SHORE BMW BODYSHOP
“The Paint and Panel Awards night provides a great opportunity for us to network with like-minded repairers and share ideas and experiences. Congratulations to all the winners on the night, and a big thanks to Sam Street and Yaffa for the hard work and effort in organising such a great event and for bringing our counterparts together to celebrate our industry which was very much needed after a very challenging few years of dealing with COVID and lockdown.
SANDRA NOACH, IQBODYGROUP
“This year’s Paint and Panel Awards was taken to the next level, so many people committed to our industry in one place. It was an honour and a privilege to be part of a memorable evening.”
TODD RICHARDS, GEOFF RICHARDS PANELBEATING
“Our team was so impressed with the professionalism of the whole event. All the award presentations ran to schedule and the food was great, the room looked amazing and the presenter just had the room relaxed and laughing.
“All in all it was a wonderful vibe. I couldn’t have been more surprised or humbled to be surrounded by such wonderful people and receive a National Award.
“Everyone was so great and seemed genuinely happy for each other - it was simply brilliant.
CARL BIZON AMA GROUP
“It was fantastic to celebrate the many successes across the industry, and we were very proud to be sponsors of this great event. We would once again like to congratulate all the nominees and winners.”
