Leading garage management system provider TechMan has been shortlisted as a finalist in the Industry Partner of the Year category at the CAT Awards 2026, marking another year of recognition for the company’s continued commitment to supporting the independent garage sector.

The awards ceremony will take place on Thursday 26th February 2026 at The Lowry Hotel, Manchester, celebrating excellence and innovation across suppliers, garages and service providers within the industry.

Being shortlisted for a second year running highlights TechMan’s forward-thinking approach to garage management software.

For more than a decade, TechMan has focused on delivering practical, digital solutions that help garages streamline operations, improve efficiency and enhance customer service. Today, the platform supports a growing community of more than 14,500 garage professionals, providing clear visibility across job management, reporting, parts ordering and customer engagement.

Leo Freebairn, Sales Director at TechMan, commented: “Being shortlisted for the CAT Awards once again is a fantastic endorsement of the work our team does every day to support independent garages. We’re grateful to CAT for recognising our contribution to the sector and we remain focused on listening to our customers and delivering the tools they need to run more efficient, profitable and customer-focused businesses.”
