Delphi to host Top Garage and Top Technician finals

Delphi is once again set to host the finals of the Top Garage and Top Technician competitions — and we are just a week away from finding out who will emerge as the UK’s champions for 2024.

This year, more than 400 workshops and 1,000 technicians from across the UK applied, showcasing the depth of talent and passion within the industry.

The UK’s best garages and brightest technicians will gather at Delphi’s recently expanded training academy in Warwick on October 26, where they will compete in the final rounds.

The winners will be announced during an awards ceremony later that evening at the DoubleTree by Hilton hotel in Coventry.

Luke Garratt, UK technical services manager at Delphi, said: “Hosting the Top Garage and Top Technician awards for the third-year running is a testament to our commitment to celebrating excellence within the automotive industry.

‘Celebration’

“Each year, we are inspired by their passion and dedication, and it’s an honour for us to provide a platform that recognises their hard work and achievements. We look forward to another fantastic celebration of skill and professionalism.

“There’s no better way to see how you measure up in the industry — and it’s a fantastic way to celebrate the opening of our new training academy.”

A half-a-million-pound investment over the summer has seen the Warwick-based Delphi Academy double in size by extending into a neighbouring unit, bringing the total floor space to 1,430 m2. Addressing industry needs, the extension features new state-of-the-art training amenities dedicated to hybrid and EV education.

It comes as part of Delphi’s ongoing mission to support workshops with the knowledge, diagnostic tools, parts and technical support needed to efficiently work on today’s increasingly complicated car parc.

There is still time to book your ticket to join industry colleagues for the awards night including dinner, entertainment and networking. Click here for details.
