With just days to go until the 2025 Top Awards Finals, the UK’s top technicians, garages, and apprentices are making their final preparations ahead of the ultimate round in this year’s competition.
On Saturday 15 November, the nation’s best will converge at Delphi Academy in Warwick for one of the most highly anticipated events in the garage calendar.
While Top Technician and Top Apprentice finalists will tackle a range of complex practical assessments, Top Garage finalists will face a nerve-racking business presentation to the judging panel, putting their strategy, leadership, and customer service ethos under the spotlight. It’s an opportunity for the UK’s best-run independent workshops to demonstrate exactly what makes them stand out.
“It all comes down to this,” said Ryan Fuller, Managing Director at the Top Awards. “These finalists have already proven themselves among the very best in the country. Saturday is about celebrating that achievement and watching them rise to one final challenge. It’s the highlight of the year for everyone involved.”
Hosted at Delphi Academy, one of Europe’s most advanced automotive training facilities, the finals provide a professional stage worthy of the talent on display. The venue’s cutting-edge environment reflects the competition’s commitment to real-world testing and continuous learning.
Following the daytime competition, attention will turn to the Top Awards Gala Dinner at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Coventry, where the 2025 champions will be crowned in front of an audience of industry peers, sponsors, and media. The evening promises a memorable celebration of dedication, expertise, and community spirit, complete with a drinks reception and three-course dinner.
The Top Awards are supported by a host of respected industry partners, including Snap-on, Delphi, LKQ Euro Car Parts, TOPDON, JLM Lubricants, VARTA, Garage Hive, Garage Services Online, Mechanic Mindset, and Autotech Communications.
Together, these partners share a commitment to raising standards, inspiring growth, and recognising the exceptional people driving the trade forward.
