The AM Awards 2021 finalists revealed, part 2

The finalists in the AM Awards 2021 have been revealed.

Part one of the shortlist was revealed yesterday, but today we can reveal the finalists lined up for the remaining categories.

In each category, a winner from among these finalists will be announced and presented with their trophy at the AM Awards dinner which is being held on September 8th 2021, at its usual venue, the cavernous International Convention Centre (ICC) in Birmingham, followed by ample opportunity to network with motor retail industry colleagues and peers.

After days of examining entry submissions and reports from AM Awards auditors BDO, followed by a day of robust debate and voting, under the scrutiny of independent chairman Christopher Macgowan OBE, the judging panel has selected each category's finalists.

Part two of the 2021 AM Awards shortlist is as follows (click here to view part one of the shortlist):
