Thanks Peter,
all three of us were in the final last year so the odds are quite even.

Thanks for the comments guys

The competition has been a great experience for me over the last 3 years. It has pushed me to want to learn more as technology advances. I have met some great people along the way and achieving ATA accreditation has been a valuable asset to me.

It is also an honour to be considered alongside the likes of Clive Atthowe and John Tinham.

Many thanks for your support and well done to Kim and Steve.

Regards

Mark

Congratulations Mark for a well deserved win.

I too have given this the last three years and gained so much from it (ATA diag-tech then master tech} and also met lots of great people.

Also I would like to thank the Aftermarket team and sponsors, a great bunch that gave us all a good laugh.

Steve Martin was a cool character so no doubt he will be back next year, well done Steve and good luck for next year.

Best Regards,
Kim Doerr.

Congratulations to Mark for winning Top Technician also Kim and Martin for second and third , i know how much work goes into this when you take part . I took a back seat this year and left it to Dan Wright who works for me to compete he made it into the top twelve on his first attempt. He learned a lot by taking part as well as gaining ATA . The competition seems to just get better each year i may even be tempted back myself next year for another go .
