The Women in Collision Seminar and Awards takes place on Friday 4 December at 4pm - 2020 style - virtually. However, we'll still have fun, learn something and recognise some of the amazing women in our industry. It's not just for women - gentleman so please join us too. We encourage watch parties like we had for the Paint & Panel Bodyshop Awards. Grab some snacks and a sneaky wine or beer (it is Friday) and enjoy with your colleagues.
