A family-run crash repair bodyshop is in the running for a national industry award.

Lepton-based Colourcube Automotive has been selected as one of three national finalists in the prestigious Motor Trader Industry Awards 2024 for the ‘Best Bodyshop (Medium Enterprise).’

The company, run by husband and wife team Mike and Liz Mayes, was founded in 2016 and has become known for its high standards in accident repairs for cars, vans and light commercial vehicles.

Their award nomination comes on the back of sustained success and growth, with the business seeing significant increases in both sales and customer demand over the past year.

Liz Mayes, business development director, said: “Being recognised alongside such large companies in the industry is incredible.

“We’re especially proud of this achievement as an independent bodyshop competing with some of the biggest names out there.

“Our team of just five people has worked tirelessly to uphold our high standards, and this recognition is as much theirs as it is ours.

“We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our customers and community, whose support has been integral to our success.”

In 2023, Colourcube Automotive introduced several best practice initiatives to improve internal and customer satisfaction. The team gained CARSQA Accreditation for Full Structural Repairs.

Their business strategy, which includes a focus on sustainability and continual staff development, has driven remarkable growth, positioning the company for further success in the coming years.

Colourcube Automotive’s team actively engages in the local community, hosting business networking events in their workshop and participating in local events. They have also developed close relations with local schools to offer work experience opportunities.

This is not the first time Colourcube Automotive has received national recognition. The company previously won the ‘Best New Bodyshop’ Award in 2019 and the ‘Best Small Bodyshop’ Award for Bodyshop Magazine in 2023.

Locally, they have been recognised with awards including Huddersfield Town’s Shooting Stars and Eaton Smith Business of the Month.

The Motor Trader Industry Awards ceremony will take place at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel on November 20 2024.
