British Bodyshop Awards recognise Fix Auto UK

Fix Auto UK is celebrating after the network scooped three awards at the British Bodyshop Awards, held at the Battersea Evolution recently.

During an evening where more than 800 people from the bodyshop, manufacturer and insurance sectors came together at a ceremony hosted by TV personality Fiona Bruce, Covéa Insurance announced Fix Auto UK as its joint Repairer of the Year.

Covéa Insurance’s award was recognition of ‘dedication to delivery of first class customer service, quality of repair, collaborative working partnership and efficient management of customers’ expectations’.

Continuing the success, Fix Auto Northampton collected the coveted Vauxhall Bodyshop of the Year Award, an accolade to accompany the two Vauxhall Regional Bodyshop of the Year Awards it collected in 2014 and 2015.

Fix Auto UK also presented its own Cycle Time Performance Award at the event, with Fix Auto Lichfield named as the outright winner, just ahead of finalists Fix Auto Blackburn, Fix Auto Kettering, Fix Auto Durham and Fix Auto Pontypridd.

Capping off a great night for the 75-strong network, Fix Auto Dagenham’s Victor Silva was ‘highly commended’ during the Autoraise Apprentice of the Year Award presentation.

Ian Pugh, of Fix Auto UK, said: “It was an absolute honour to be named as Covéa Insurance’s joint Repairer of the Year. 

“It is wonderful to be recognised for the hard work that we as a team, along with our franchise network, put in, in order to deliver for our customers.

“I was equally delighted that both Fix Auto Northampton and Fix Auto Lichfield were recognised for their achievements.  Our franchisees continue to raise the bar in terms of performance, and it is great to see them rewarded in this way.”
