The Independent Garage Association (IGA) has officially unveiled the finalists for the British Independent Garage (BIG) Awards 2025, spotlighting the most innovative, dedicated, and high-achieving individuals and businesses driving progress in the independent automotive sector.
Described as “game changers” by the IGA, this year’s finalists represent the pinnacle of excellence, resilience and innovation – raising industry standards and redefining what success looks like in the garage landscape.
Stuart James, CEO of the IGA, praised the calibre of this year’s shortlist, stating: “We’re incredibly proud to reveal this year’s BIG Awards finalists. An outstanding line-up of individuals and businesses who are driving real progress across our industry.
“Their passion and determination are raising the bar and redefining what success looks like in the independent garage sector. A big thank you to everyone who entered, and to our valued sponsors for their ongoing support.”
