Ardal O' Hanlon, star of Father Ted and acclaimed stand-up comedian, will entertain guests at the 2004 AM Awards ceremony.

The event, on February 26, 2004, at the Birmingham International Convention Centre, promises to be the most spectacular to date. Entries are flooding in for the 16 categories and there is still time for you to enter. The deadline is November 30, but we urge you to prepare your entry now.

Independent consultant Carter & Carter is carrying out the audit process against a fixed list of criteria that will clearly identify the best companies, from franchised retail groups to single-site dealerships and from bodyshops to suppliers/factors.

Entry forms are available from Helen Bateman on 01733 468259, email helen.bateman@emap.com or via the AM website at www.am-online.com.
