AM will be unveiling the 2006 AM50 listing of biggest bodyshops by turnover on the evening of November 14 at the Ricoh Stadium in Coventry.

The AM50, now in its third year, identifies the largest bodyshops and extracts profit data, employee information and courtesy car details to build a profile of the bodyshop industry.

Repairers who have responded to the survey will be able to benchmark their performance against the top 50 as a whole.

Early findings from the AM50 underline how tumultuous the past 12 months have been for the industry with a number of 2005 AM50 bodyshops closed or acquired.

That trend is expected to continue into 2007, but there are a few bodyshops that enjoyed good performance in the last year, most notably Just Car Clinics.
