First IBIS Global Collision Awards presented in Milan

Day one of the IBIS Global Summit 2023 conference ended on a high with the presentation of the inaugural IBIS Global Collision Awards. The awards are a recognition of the exceptional work, innovation, and resilience displayed by individuals and companies in the global collision repair industry.

Two awards were presented by IBIS CEO Jason Moseley – the Outstanding Contribution to the Collision Repair Industry accolade was awarded to President and CEO of Caliber, Mark Sanders; and the Lifetime Achievement in the Collision Repair Industry went to VeriFacts’ Farzam Afshar.

Moseley said: “We’re delighted to recognise Mark and Farzam in the first IBIS Global Collision Awards, especially in front of all our industry friends and colleagues at the IBIS Global Summit here in Milan. It was the perfect way to wrap up a fantastic day of knowledge sharing and networking.”

IBIS has built up an enviable reputation as a source of high-level information and market analysis with the 2023 calendar of events continuing discussions on a global scale around the conference theme “Sustainable Strategies for Success”.
