ABP Club Repairers Choice Awards

The Auto Body Professionals Club (ABP Club) celebrated its fifth anniversary at this year’s annual Convention which took place at the Hinckley Island Hotel in Leicestershire.

The daytime convention and Night of Knights Awards ceremony is now in its third year with a 21% increase in attendance to 394 delegates.

The event, which was the biggest to date, was ‘sold out’ weeks before, and in his opening address David Cresswell, ABP Club Chairman, said that they would have to change to a bigger venue next year to accommodate more people. 

The event attended by repairers, insurers and suppliers included representation from 24 of the top 30 bodyshop groups, 14 of the top 20 insurance companies and 16 of the top accident management companies and as a result provided excellent networking opportunities.
