There's only a week and a bit to go until entries for the Paint & Panel Bodyshop Awards close. Are you thinking your shop isn't glamorous enough? Then think again. Judges are looking for good working practices, treating your staff right, dedication to customer service and business with a firm idea of where they are heading.
We've had winners with old shops, awkward shaped shops but what they have had instead is passion and direction. Winning a Paint & Panel award raises your profile in the industry (work providors take notice) and raises morale in your team. If you are proud of your business then nominate now for Best Shop or one of the many best practice awards such as Best Customer Experience or Digital Excellence.
If you have already been nominated you will be receiving an email shortly from Survey Monkey asking for you to accept your nomination or if you decide you don't want to take part please let us know by replying to the email. Otherwise we will keep trying to get in touch with you.
I had a meeting with judge Neil Powell last week who is so in demand that he has also been called for jury service during the judging period. We're sure he'll be released when they realise how important these awards are. We're excited to get back on the road to meet more great business owners.
