Congratulations to David and Clarissa Iacobucci from DSI Panels in Victoria on taking out the 2024 Australian Trades Small Business Champion Awards in the Automotive Smash Repairs category.
A delighted Clarissa said: "The trade awards were a great experience and we're thrilled to come away with a win. It was a very proud moment to see our team's hard work recognised and we're looking forward to celebrating with them soon."
Now in its second year, the 2024 Australian Trades Small Business Champion Awards features a total of more than 50 categories, across trades-based retail, services and manufacturing industries.
Among this year’s most competitive categories, automotive categories are proved exceptionally challenging to judge, said Steve Loe, Awards Founder and Managing Director of Precedent Productions, which coordinates the Australian Trades and Women’s Small Business Champion Awards.
“The quality of entrants in the automotive categories is very impressive. The shortlisting of this year’s finalists was quite the challenge for our judges.
“When the Champion Judges evaluate entries, they consider all aspects of a business: its strategies, growth, eco-friendliness, community contributions, innovation, customer service, and product and service quality – to name but some of the criteria.
The finalists were: Central Coast Smash Repairs (NSW), Queen Street Customs (NSW) and Absolute Smash Repairs (NSW).
