Awards ceremony held at Farnborough International Exhibition and Conference Centre on Friday
The Independent Garage Association (IGA) has announced the winners of the British Independent Garage of the Year Awards 2022 (BIG Awards).
The awards ceremony took place on Friday 19 August at Farnborough International Exhibition and Conference Centre, where over 350 people gathered to recognise the best of the UK’s independent garage sector.
The awards were hosted by TV presenter Mark-Durden-Smith, while actor and comedian Hugh Dennis entertained guests with an after-dinner speech.
Winners were announced over thirteen categories, showcasing how garages and individuals have excelled across all aspects of running an independent garage business.
Stuart James, IGA chief executive said: “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.”
