Car technician wins prestigious industry award

A car technician with an eye for detail is painting his way to a successful future, as he picks up a top national award.

“I was absolutely over the moon to receive the award, it’s great to be recognised in an industry which I love” said Fran.

The Bodyshop Magazine Awards is the industry’s only independent awards programme, and the highlight of the UK accident and repair market calendar.

Three assessors were on hand to judge the six semi-finalists, and the prestigious awards ceremony was held at the Celtic Manor Resort in Wales. Sarah Macadam, human resources manager at John Macadam and Son, said: “We’re really proud of Fran, it’s a fantastic achievement. He works hard on a daily basis, and his commitment and passion for the industry is inspirational; very well deserved.”
