Episode 4: The Top Garage Competition

In this episode of the Harmonic Motion podcast, James Dillon is discussing the Top Garage competition with current judges Ian Gilgrass and Glenn Cutter.

The three of them provide invaluable tips for garage owners on entering and being successful in the competition as well as advice surrounding training, marketing, succession, and business skills.

For those workshops that take part in Top Garage, the benefits are two-fold. Working through the online element of the competition, and then taking part in Top Garage’s finals where garages face the judges can help them focus on what they are good at, and where the business needs improvement.

Garages which make it to the finals receive recognition, which they can use in their marketing locally, giving the garage that much-needed edge over local competition. Taking part in Top Garage, or even better winning, can provide a unique selling point that is hard to match.
