Fix Auto UK celebrated another evening of success during the seventh annual NBRA Green Awards held at the CBS Arena in Coventry last night.
In front of more than 400 guests – a record number for the event – representing repairers, key suppliers and insurers, and what can only be described as a spectacular occasion, six Fix Auto UK repairers were recognised for their continued environmental efforts.
For the second successive year, Fix Auto Manchester East received a coveted Gold Greener Award for their continuous drive behind running a greater sustainable business. They were joined on stage by Fix Auto Leicester.
Celebrations were also held for Fix Auto Mid Devon, Fix Auto Newton Abbot, Fix Auto Redhill and Fix Auto Rochester who each received Silver Greener Awards.
Fix Auto Leicester and Fix Auto Mid Devon were also named as finalists in the Bodyshop Staff Wellbeing Award meanwhile the Leicestershire repairer was also named as one of the five finalists in the Sustainability Award.
A delighted James Gore, Managing Director at Fix Auto Manchester East, said: “We have long been working towards transforming our entire operation into a more sustainable and as ecologically friendly as possible. To receive a Gold Award for a second successive year is a remarkable achievement but one that reflects our continuous drive to operate a greener business. As I said last year, we are extremely proud of our achievements though we believe there’s still plenty to do. Being recognised once again by the industry is really humbling and I truly thank the NBRA.”
Mark Hutchins, Operations Director for Fix Auto UK, added: “What an incredible night and all credit has to go Martyn Rowley and all at the NBRA. It’s hard to believe that, just several years ago, running a greener, more sustainable, bodyshop wasn’t a priority for most and yet, here we are, we are all quite rightly, ensuring it is of paramount importance. Hearing the Fix Auto UK name being called out so many times in front of such of prestigious audience was incredibly humbling.”
