News Flash: East Bilney Coachworks have received the Independent Bodyshop of the Year Award
at the Bodyshop Magazine Industry Awards 2007!

February 2007

·    East Bilney Coachworks is currently the only independent bodyshop to be awarded the PAS 125 kitemark in three repair categories: Cosmetic, Structural - steel, and Structural - aluminium and composite.

        East Bilney Coachworks successfully completed the rigorous audit and is one of the first to be able to display the Kitemark, which is a recognised symbol of quality.

        The scheme is intended to help ensure that the UK’s bodyshop industry has a recognised standard to aim for and maintain. Mark Baldwin, Partner at East Bilney Coachworks confirms. ‘We are 100% behind the introduction of the Kitemark. As a crash repairer, it will enable us to assure our customers and the insurers we work with that the vehicles going through our bodyshop have been repaired using safe and demonstrable quality procedures.’
