2024 Paint & Panel BodyShop Award Finalists announced

The Bodyshop Awards is the industry's most prestigious recognition, and Fortress is proud to stand among the best. We are deeply grateful for the acknowledgment and the opportunity to showcase the dedication and excellence of our team.

Our COO, Sean Honsa, shares, 'This incredible recognition reflects the dedication and hard work of our entire team. As a collective, we continue to push boundaries—not to be the biggest, but to be the best.'

It’s extremely meaningful to be supported by our suppliers, nominating us for Best Multisite Operator. We are also very proud to be finalists for Best Workplace, as people are at the heart of our business, and we intend to never lose sight of that.

Most importantly, we are very proud of our individual finalists and wish them, along with all the finalists, the best of luck in November:

  • Manager of the Year - Gary Nicholson
  • Emerging Leader - Danielle Petta
  • Parts Manager of the Year - Chelsea Donges
  • Apprentice of the Year - Zane Hartley
