The Blend Awards 2024 has extended the deadline for entries in the Garage of the Year category for small businesses with one to four staff members. This gives independent garages and mobile repair businesses in the UK and Ireland a final chance to be recognised for their contributions to the industry.
The original deadline for all categories has passed, but small garages now have until 7 August to submit their entries online.
“Small workshops and mobile businesses are too often overlooked,” said Ray Dilsons, Event Director at The Blend. “We have extended the entry period specifically for the Garage of the Year award in the one to four staff member category to ensure they’re recognised for their outstanding achievements and contributions to the industry. It’s our way of supporting small but ambitious garage businesses.”
The Blend Awards are open to all independent garages, regardless of the software or systems they use. Entries will be judged by a panel of industry experts, with winners announced at The Blend event on 28 September in Birmingham.
The event will feature talks and discussions on improving workshop efficiency, overcoming industry challenges, and exploring new opportunities.
