Ben wins a Special Recognition Award
Published: 11.09.2026
Ben recently received a Special Recognition Award at the NBRA Greener Bodyshop Awards, recognising the work we do to support the people across the body repair industry with their health and wellbeing. We’re incredibly proud to have our work recognised.
The awards celebrate those driving positive change and sustainability across the sector, which is very inspiring.
For Ben, it’s all about the people behind the industry, supporting their health and wellbeing, helping them live well and making a positive difference to their lives.
Rachel Clift, our CEO, and Ellen Plumer, our Head of Awareness & Experience, represented Ben at the awards ceremony with around 550 people from across the industry.
It was a fantastic evening and a great opportunity to connect with others, raise awareness of what Ben does and highlight the importance of looking after the people who keep the industry moving.
A huge congratulations to those involved in making the night such a success and to everyone who picked up an award.
