The UK’s rising automotive talent was recognised last week (20 October) at the annual Institute of Motor Industry (IMI) Outstanding Achievers Awards, supported by Euro Car Parts.

The ceremony recognises outstanding individuals within the motor industry, as well as rising talent and the world-class training being delivered across the UK.

Held at the head office of IMI in Hertford, the event was attended by IMI patron, HRH Prince Michael of Kent, who presented the awards. The prizes, supplied by Euro Car Parts, comprised two vouchers worth £1,000, and a further eight to the value of £125.

Martin Gray, ceo of Euro Car Parts (pictured), said: “It was an honour to be invited to speak at the IMI Outstanding Achievement Awards. Celebrating excellence within the automotive sector, the awards are a real testament to the talented individuals for which our industry is known.

“I felt especially privileged to address the emerging talent recognised at the event. The motor industry is ever-changing, so dynamic new individuals, along with first-rate training, are needed to help the industry continue at the forefront of innovation. I’d like to personally, and on behalf of Euro Car Parts, offer my sincere congratulations to all of this year’s finalists.”
