The SAMBRA Awards, organised jointly by the South African Motor Body Repairers’ Association (SAMBRA) and Lightstone Group, celebrate the highest standards of quality and service in the motor body repair sector.

The winners were chosen through voting by over 650 SAMBRA members, followed by independent collation and auditing by Lightstone Group. An awards ceremony was held in Johannesburg recently.

Being recognised at these awards highlights Absa’s commitment to maintaining robust industry standards and excelling in areas crucial to both repairers and customers such as fair business practices, prompt payment and customer service. These accolades demonstrate Absa’s dedication to excellence and leadership in the insurance sector.

"Winning these awards in such important categories is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team," said Collin Molepe (photo), Managing Executive: Absa Insurance Company.
