Winners will be crowned on 23 November 2024 at W Brisbane. Hosted by Channel Seven and SEN Queensland’s Ben Davis, the Industry Awards Gala will also feature entertainment, food, drinks, dancing, and a charity auction.
“It has been terrific to see so many of our members get involved and nominate for the new award categories,” said Rod Camm, Chief Executive of the MTA Queensland. “The quality and quantity of nominations we received last year highlight the incredible level of dedication and commitment to customer service and service excellence delivered day-in day-out by automotive businesses across Queensland, which often goes unnoticed.”
Nominations for the awards close at 4:30pm on 28 June.
“Nominating for the MTA Queensland Industry Awards is a fantastic opportunity to recognise a person or business in your community for the wonderful value they bring. There is significant media attention attached to the finalists and winners, and it can bring an increased sense of trust and credibility for customers, knowing that the business has been recognised as a leader in the Queensland automotive industry,” added Camm.
