Bodyshop – August 2019

26 BODYSHOP AUGUST 2019

Lifetime Achievement Award Winner

Chris Mann

bodyshop magazine and IBIS co-founder

‘I think we genuinely have seen a revolution in

quality. It’s no longer a guy in a lab coat and

a bag but is something that is genuinely done

properly. As Jason has said many times over,

it’s about standards, doing the job properly,

estimating it properly, and really maintaining

integrity of the vehicle. I genuinely think that

bodyshop has played a key role in achieving that,

so thank you very much.’

years to get that. So, I’m sure for my dad he would like to thank

all our clients which would be the vehicle manufacturers, as well

as the insurers this year. So, thank you to all of those guys, and

most importantly, the bodyshops because without them ITAS

wouldn’t really be here for the industry. So, from Bryan, thank

you very much.’ Tony Young, son of Bryan Young
