The NBRA Podcast Episode 1 has been released, which features Crash Assessor UK’s Managing Director, Andy Watson.
Andy Watson has had a fruitful life within the automotive industry and it was great to be able to understand more about the journey he has been on, to becoming Founder and Managing Director for Crash Assessor UK.
On the NBRA website there features a Virtual VDA service which has been produced in collaboration with Crash Assessor UK, for our repairer members.
This podcast has ultimately spring-boarded onto becoming our next Webinar topic, hosted next Tuesday 9th March which is titled ‘VDA: The Virtual Deal’.
Please, take a look at our first episode which covers many engaging topics such as Andy’s entrepreneurial skills, VDA apprenticeships, mental health discussions and Insurer/Bodyshop relations.
Finally, if you would like to hear more from Andy, Thomas and the NBRA team about our Virtual VDA Service, please register for next weeks webinar.
We look forward to seeing you.
