2012 TACC CASTROL MOTOR INDUSTRY AWARDS

2012 was the seventh year of the TACC Castrol Motor Industry Awards. The awards ceremony was held at the Wrest Point Casino on 5^th May.  The night was a raging success and a good night was had by all who attended.  The entertainment was provided by the international act ‘The Three Waiters’ and the band ‘Ebeneza Good which got everyone up on the dance floor.

The Awards are designed to recognise the hard work of well managed organisations.  The TACC Castrol Motor Industry Awards showcase TACC members who have strong business plans, positive relationships with staff and goals for their future. We had an unprecedented number of nominations totalling 55, which made the categories hotly contested.  The awards are divided into the major categories of the Motor Industry and judged by TACC on a strict criterion. 

The night was the most successful event held since the inception of the awards, with just over 300 guests in attendance. The awards winners this year are listed below:
