Are you the 2017 country repairer of the year?

With judges travelling across country to visit smash repair shops all over Australia, it's near impossible to travel to regional areas to scope out talent – that's why we ask all country repairer nominees to submit a video up to 10 minutes long that showcases your business. Closing date is 18 August - you can upload your video to Youtube and send us a link, dropbox the video or send it in on a memory stick. Please use the email address: awards@paintandpanel.com.au and make the subject Country Repairers award.

The video should present the operations of your repair shop, including customer reception area, offices, estimating area, parts storage and workshop – as well as demonstrating workflow where possible. Training, OH&S and sustainable initiatives should also be mentioned as well as any other areas that you think makes your business stand out.

 

You are a regional repairer if your shop is not located within 80km of:

Sydney
Melbourne
Brisbane
Perth
Adelaide
Gold Coast-Tweed
Newcastle-Maitland
Canberra-Queanbeyan
Wollongong
Hobart
Geelong
Townsville-Thuringowa
Cairns
Darwin
Toowoomba

Here's the video submitted by last year's winners McCarthy Panel works.
