The upcoming British Independent Garage (BIG) Awards has revealed the cash prizes that will be offered to category winners at this year’s event. The event, organised by the Independent Garage Association (IGA), celebrates the best of the sector.
In line with last year’s awards, Stuart James, the IGA’s Chief Executive, has officially revealed that each category winner at the BIG Awards 2024 will receive a Cash Prize of £1,000 from the IGA as a gesture to recognise and reward their outstanding achievements within the industry.
“As a non-profit organisation, the IGA BIG Awards are about celebrating the hard work, dedication, and excellence of the independent garage sector rather than generating a profit,” James commented. “For this reason, we have decided that, just as we did last year, we will give a £1,000 cash prize to each of the 17 category winners. We are deeply grateful to all the sponsors whose generous support makes this event possible and to all the incredible garages who entered this year’s awards.”
