IMI Skills Competitions 2024: Refinishing

Refinishing finalists

 

Congratulations to each of our finalists! They have already demonstrated their high level of skills and tenacity to become one of the final six competitors. They will soon compete in a series of high-level tasks in Greater Manchester for the finals taking place on the 18th – 22nd November where one competitor will walk away with a gold medal!   

Before that they will be invited to body repair master classes in October and November, where each competitor will get the unique opportunity to meet and learn from the best in their field!

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."
