The two winners of each category will be announced and presented with trophies at the Women in Collision Awards on 17 February 2023, then profiled in Paint & Panel magazine.
AMA Group Chief People Officer, Janelle Leonard said, “At AMA Group we pride ourselves on creating a positive environment to attract and engage women in an industry that is traditionally male dominated. We know that there is a shortage of labour in the industry and believe women are such a valuable untapped resource. At AMA Group we actively support the Women in Collison Awards and wish the finalists luck in the Awards, but to us they are already winners.”
