Thank you to everyone who nominated for this year's Women in Collision Awards. It was great to see so many industry suppliers nominate their customers. We had a phenomenal number of nominations and thank you to last year's winners who spent the time reading all of the nominations and voting for these finalists. There are five finalists in each category - except in admin where we had a voting tie - and the two who received the most votes will be pronounced winners at our fabulous Women in Collision Awards which will take place in the stylish The Grand, Beta in Sydney's CBD on Friday 17 February.
Tickets for this event have just gone on sale and although we have opted for a slightly larger venue this year numbers are strictly limited so it's 'first in, best dressed'.
