Country repairers and rising star award nominees – listen up, we're talking to you!
As you will know, our annual Paint & Panel Awards are just around the corner and while we've toured the country visiting the best bodyshops in Australia, we've asked nominees for Country Repairer of the Year and Rising Star to send us a video showcasing their work.
The question is, where are your entries?!
So far we've received some fantastic videos from both country repairers and rising stars keen to take out this year's title in their respective categories, but there are still some of you who were nominated and contacted by the Paint & Panel team that haven't submitted an entry.
To refresh your memory and give you a little nudge (to get those videos in, pronto), here are just some of the reasons you'll want to take part in our awards:
- Winners will be invited to attend a swanky lunch at Sydney's Randwick Racecourse to receive their awards
- It's a fantastic opportunity to network with industry leaders and further your business
- You'll get a big, shiny trophy – that should be enough of an incentive
- It's a chance to pat yourself on the back. We know how hard you all work day-to-day and this is the time to reward yourself and your staff for all the efforts you've put into the business
