Stuart James, IGA Chief Executive comments: “It has been a great honour to hold these awards for the independent garage sector after a very challenging couple of years. Local garage businesses have been overlooked for far too long, so it was wonderful to see the sector together in one room to bring widespread recognition to the unsung heroes that keep the UK moving.”

 

“Congratulations to all our worthy winners, highly commended garages and finalists, who are all truly outstanding examples of Britain’s best independent garages. I would also like to thank our sponsors, judges and organisers who all made this event possible.”
