A WORD FROM OUR SPONSORS
ONE OF THE BEST ASPECTS OF THIS AWARDS PROGRAM IS THE NUMBER OF KEY INDUSTRY SUPPLIERS WHO GET BEHIND IT BECAUSE THEY HAVE SO MUCH RESPECT FOR ALL OF THE HARD WORK THAT GOES INTO RUNNING A GREAT COLLISION REPAIR BUSINESS.
U
A HUGE THANK YOU FROM Paint & Panel to the sponsors on behalf of all of the people who took part in this year’s awards – we can’t do it without their support. All the sponsors have been super excited to congratulate the winners and finalists in person after two years of
virtual awards presentations.
JAMES FRAPE,
CEO COMPASS CORP
HEADLINE SPONSOR
Compass has been a huge supporter of the Bodyshop Awards since 2016 and this year is proud to continue its role as the headline sponsor. We are proud to be a part of this prestigious event for an industry that deserves its night in the spotlight.
On behalf of everyone at Compass, we would like to congratulate all who took part and especially all the finalists. We are glad to see the awards back this year in a live format. After two years of vir- tual award shows, whilst fun and enter- taining, being able to see everyone in real life is going to be fantastic.
It’s great to see the increased partici- pation as the awards go from strength to strength. Each year the bar is raised by incredibly hard working individuals and their teams going above and beyond. This year’s accolades are no different, with some truly exceptional shops in the mix for the big prizes.
Once again, congratulations to all the winners and we look forward to next year.
STEVEN BRETT,
MANAGING DIRECTOR, AXALTA
COATINGS,
GOLD SPONSOR
Axalta is delighted to be a Gold Sponsor of the annual Paint & Panel Awards for 2022, acknowledging the hard work and innovation that goes into these awards each year. Together we celebrate the tal- ent and achievements of the industry, and those businesses who have excelled across the country through their sheer hard work and dedication.
It is always so good to see those body shops who have created a business model that will survive and thrive in the future by investing in the latest repair technolo- gy and staff training, embracing change, keeping ahead of the technology curve and being involved in the industry.
How wonderful that after some chal- lenging years, 2022 sees the judging done in person again and that we are back to some sort of ‘normality’ by being able to join the finalists at the Gala Awards night in Melbourne in November.
Once again, we congratulate all the nominees and winners in each category!
