This week’s key takeaway:
Body Shop Awards have been refreshed!
Episode intro:
It’s time to start thinking about the Paint & Panel Awards for this year! As we contemplate life after Covid, we’re super-excited at the prospect of having a big celebration in honour of the very best in our industry.
We talk to P&P editor Sam Street and our fantastically loyal sponsor, James Frape from Compass Corp. Would you believe that when this event started out, there was only one award for ‘Best Panel Beater of the Year’, and the winner of the award had to host the ceremony himself!!
As you will hear, things have moved on a lot since those days, and there’s even quite a lot of change since last year. There’s just so much to celebrate!
In this week’s episode you will learn:
-The story behind the reboot
-How the awards have evolved down the years
-The importance of sponsor contributions
-Why there are fewer awards but more finalists this year
-The two-tier system of judging
-Different categories based on turnover
-Each award explained
-The new awards this year
-The special focus on insurers this year
-Why James continues to support the awards
