A message from Richard Hutchins, IMI Skills Competition Manager, to our finalists and everyone that took part this year:
"The scores this year were phenomenal and you have done amazingly well to get through to the finals. I’m delighted with everybody’s performance throughout the competition so far. Commiserations to all the competitors that didn’t get through to the final, but the standard has been really high, so please enter again next year. I look forward to another tremendous competition in November and once again showing the incredible talent that exists in the automotive sector."
