THE LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS
The National Collision Repairer Lifetime Achievement Awards ceremony is held annually to induct recipients and acknowledge each individual for their outstanding service to the collision repair industry.
Inductees have been involved for a minimum of 20 years in the collision repair industry and have a history of industry contributions beyond the scope of their local area and of their direct employment.
We congratulate the past recipients and acknowledge their lifetime in our industry as their contributions have made it the vibrant, cutting-edge industry of today.
Held alongside the National Collision Repairer Symposium, the Gala dinner will bring together past and present inductees, as well as a range of industry representatives.
The Lifetime Achievement Awards offers our sponsors an exclusive opportunity to align their brand with industry success and longevity, while demonstrating support for innovation and leadership.

GALA AWARDS
The 2025 Lifetime Achievement Awards Gala evening will see 2024’s three awards joined by a further two awards on the night:

Both awards will have ongoing support throughout the year from the National Collision Repairer magazine, with regular features helping to convey information and branding throughout the year.
These two categories will help celebrate and shine a light on the innovations optimising efficiencies in the collision repair industry that also look after the planet, as well as recognising the individuals and businesses who have made strong inroads in workplace wellbeing to ensure everyone gets home safely.
The 2025 gala night will also be accompanied by NCR’s Symposium 25 – a feast of ideas for all things collision repair, featuring leading industry experts exploring issues and practical solutions.
