IGA’s BIG Awards drives the profile of independent garages

Entries are open for the Independent Garage Association (IGA)’s inaugural British Independent Garage of the Year Awards (BIG Awards), a night to shine a light on Britain’s best independent garages.

Shortlisted garages will receive two complimentary tickets to the awards night on Friday 19 June 2020 at Hilton DoubleTree Milton Keynes, hosted by actor and comedian Hugh Dennis, as well as high-profile recognition from the IGA and business opportunities that will attract new customers and the best talent to their business.

Entrants will be measured against the highest standards, and the judging process will be independently verified including site audits and mystery shops, so shortlisted garages will truly be setting an exemplary standard for the rest of the sector.

Stuart James, IGA CEO, said, “We know that the UK’s independent garages are providing the best quality of service – now they are going to prove it. These garages are a cornerstone of the great British high street, quietly but consistently servicing and maintaining vehicles in their vital mission to keep the UK moving.

“As the UK’s largest representative trade body for independent garages, we consider it a privilege to be supporting the sector by providing a platform for independents to shine and demonstrate how good we know they are.”

Independent garages in the UK can enter online now at www.theBIGawards.org.uk. Allianz are the headline sponsor for the BIG Awards, with additional sponsorship from a whole host of industry suppliers.
