OF AUSTRALIA, GOLD SPONSOR
MTAA is proud to support such a broad ranging and inclusive awards program. It was especially pleasing to hear about the number of regional repairers who entered this year and about the high quality of professionalism, presentation and work environment they are provid- ing. It is also important to acknowledge the large number of apprentices that are trained in regional areas. MTAA looks forward to celebrating the achievements of all of the winners in person at the awards night.
STEVE O’BRIEN,
MANAGING DIRECTOR IBODYSHOP, GOLD SPONSOR
At last, the pandemic is fading into the background but a whole lot of new challenges have struck the industry – parts supply, labour shortages and the increasing cost of wages, goods and services.
This is just the kind of challenge the nominees and winners of the 2022 Paint & Panel awards relish. Their long-term dedication to constant business renewal is their recipe for success.
Regardless of the obstacles, they have continued to improve efficiency and productivity through process updates, training and equipment renewal.
Congratulations to all the winners –
to be recognised by your peers as one of Australia’s premier shops is an outstand- ing achievement.
GREG ELLIOTT,
GENERAL MANAGER
