With hundreds of nominations received from every corner of Australia, this year’s shortlist represents an outstanding group of women who are valued for their contributions to the business and their support of the colleagues who nominated them.
George Manos, manager, Industry Risk & Governance, IAG said: "Congratulations to all the finalists of the Women in Collision Awards. Your dedication and impact on the repair industry are truly inspiring.
"As the Platinum Sponsor once again, IAG is proud to celebrate the remarkable contributions and achievements of women in collision repair. This commitment reflects our values of embracing diversity, inclusion, and belonging, and driving positive change in an industry that has traditionally been male dominated.
