The Motor Industry Awards, designed to help acknowledge and celebrate the industry’s leading motoring businesses and professionals, will culminate in a glittering gala black-tie event on Friday 3 November. Title Sponsor of the awards is Used Cars NI with support from Media Partner Cool FM.

Attendees will have the opportunity to support the crucial work of local charity Air Ambulance NI on the night via donation envelopes and by participating in a charity raffle.

Kerry Anderson, Head of Fundraising at Air Ambulance NI commented: “We are delighted members of the automotive industry will be extended the opportunity to support our work through these new awards. Northern Ireland’s Air Ambulance teams assisted in more than 3600 taskings between July 2017 and May this year. With the help of the business community and the wider public we can continue to save lives and help those in urgent need of medical attention.”

News of the partnership coincides with the announcement that the deadline to enter the inaugural NI Motor Industry Awards has been specially extended to 8 September, with an additional category now included.

Sasha Jeffrey, Event Director commented: “Those working in the local car industry still have time to be part of the Northern Ireland Motor Industry Awards which will not only celebrate the achievements of our thriving automotive sector but also raise much-needed funds for Air Ambulance NI, one of the region’s most-recognised and invaluable charities.”

“We would encourage businesses and individuals to go online and browse our 19 award categories including a brand-new award for Automotive Technician of the Year. This represents an opportunity for those who keep our cars on the road and in top condition to receive credit for the hard work, dedication and expertise they show every working day.”
