The second tier of judging for the awards took place last week. Thank you so much to this year's judges who invested so much time reading through all the many submissions and taking extra time to look at Google ratings, social media and websites too.
As well as first tier judges Sam Street and Neil Powell, this year's judges were: retired shop owner Wayne Phipps, WA; Tracey Richards of Geoff Richards Panelbeating, NSW; Corey Wells of Wells Autobody, QLD; Jereon Bencich of DSI Panels, VIC; Dario Tonon of Eblen Collision Repairs, SA and Ray Iverson on David Nash Smash Repairs, QLD. Where their businesses or staff had been nominated for awards, those judges were unable to vote on that category.
Congratulations to all of this year's deserving finalists.
