Hoping to repeat last year’s winning night to remember… flashback to BBAs 2022 when Fix Auto UK’s Managing Director Ian Pugh (left) celebrated another industry award success with Fix Auto West Kensington owner Hemal Amin (right) and his son Aman.
Fix Auto UK has a cause to celebrate after an unprecedented 11 Franchise Partners and Fix Auto UK itself were named as finalists for the 2023 British Bodyshop Awards.
Impressively, the wide variety of categories being contested, ranging from the award for Advocate to Green Parts, Fleet Repairer of the Year, the Advocate to Repair over Replace, the BSI Kitemark Excellent and an Apprentice accolade, underpins the breadth of talent throughout the network.
Fix Auto UK has once again been named as a finalist for the Covéa Repair Network Partner of the Year Award while the talents of Fix Auto Reading teenager Aiden Harris have been recognised as he’s been named as a finalist for the Thatcham Research Apprentice of the Year Award.
Commenting on the news, Ian Pugh, Managing Director of Fix Auto UK, said: “Top have 11 finalists including ourselves contesting for honours at British Bodyshop Awards is totally unprecedented for the network and is yet another proud chapter for the network. Having 10 Franchise Partners named is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our teams across the UK and once again highlights our commitment to delivering excellent customer service.”
David Cresswell, ABP Club Chairman, commented: “It is fantastic to see 10 Fix Auto UK Franchise Partners up for a BBA, alongside Fix Auto UK in the running for the Covéa Repair Network Partner of the Year – congratulations to all!
“This year we have a record 23 insurers, accident management companies and vehicle manufacturers presenting 52 awards in recognition of the excellent work provided by the bodyshops and individuals within their networks. We look forward to a great evening of celebration.”
