"There is no other programme like this for bodyshops today” Paul Cunningham Commercial Director, Fix Auto Dagenham
Since its launch, the AutoRaise programme has been embraced by the industry with bodyshops of all sizes recognising the value of training developed specifically to meet their needs. AutoRaise has launched its inaugural ‘AutoRaise Apprentice of the Year Award’ with the winner to be announced at the forthcoming British Bodyshop Awards. The four finalists have been chosen from those apprentices employed by early adopters of the programme; Balgores Motors, Parkford Coachworks, Fix Auto Croydon and Fix Auto Dagenham. Chris Oliver said: “AutoRaise represents a step change for our industry and thanks to the support of Barking & Dagenham College, we’re in a position to take bodyshop learning and performance to new heights. “AutoRaise is particularly relevant in the vehicle manufacturing arena; providing a collision repair training solution capable of responding to all the exciting new vehicle developments that are taking place.” For further information on AutoRaise and Barking & Dagenham College contact: Keith Crossman or Robert Brooks on 020 8090 3020 or text keyword AutoRaise and your full name to 88020.
