This week’s key takeaway:
The Paint & Panel Bodyshop Awards with Sam Street
Episode intro:
It’s the boss in charge this week… Ben steps aside and is replaced by Paint & Panel editor Sam Street for this special episode. With the Paint & Panel Awards coming up, we thought we’d catch up with James Frape (CEO of Compass) who has been an amazing supporter of the awards. We also hook up with a couple of old friends of the show: Ray Khabbaz (Co-founder of Finishline Auto Body Repairs) and Steve O’Brien (iBodyshop). Ray tells us how much it meant to him to win two awards last year, while Steve tells us what motivates him to be a gold sponsor of the event.
