Leading change. Strengthening our industry
As we move into the second half of 2026, it’s clear that our industry continues to evolve at pace. From regulatory developments and emerging vehicle technologies to ongoing cost pressures and sustainability initiatives, change is creating both challenges and opportunities for repairers.
At SAMBRA, our focus remains firmly on ensuring our members are informed, represented and equipped to navigate this changing landscape. Whether it’s advancing our Block Exemption application, participating in the End-of-Life Vehicle task team, driving conversations around Occupational Health and Safety, or strengthening skills development for the future of collision repair, we are committed to ensuring your voice is heard where it matters most.
This edition highlights just how much work is happening behind the scenes on behalf of our members. It also reflects the importance of collaboration across the repair ecosystem – from insurers and OEMs to government and industry partners – as we work together to build a stronger, more sustainable motor body repair sector.
Thank you for your continued support and engagement. Together, we will continue to raise professional standards, create new opportunities and ensure our industry remains resilient and future-ready.
