Silverlake Automotive Recycling has been named Green Parts Supplier of the Year 2026 at the Auto Body Professionals (ABP) Night of Knights Awards, in recognition of the service and support it provides to the vehicle repair industry.

The award, presented on 29 October, is particularly significant because it is decided by votes from UK wide bodyshops, rather than through a formal award submission.  It represents direct recognition from the repairers using green parts and working with suppliers such as Silverlake on a daily basis.  The win is Silverlake’s second in three years, following a close runners-up position in 2025.

For insurers and bodyshop groups looking to further develop their use of green parts, confidence in the parts supply chain is vital.  Quality, availability and responsive service are all essential to ensuring green parts become an automatic part of the decision making and estimating process at the outset of any vehicle repair.

Allen Prebble, Managing Director of Silverlake Automotive Recycling, said:

“We are delighted to have won this award, particularly because it is voted for by bodyshops.  It’s a genuine endorsement of the work we do and the relationships we have built with our customers, for which we are very grateful.

“Green parts have an important role to play in supporting a more circular approach to vehicle repair, but their wider adoption depends on repairers having confidence in the parts and in the supplier behind them. We understand that this confidence has to be earned through quality, availability and service, consistently.

“I’m especially proud of our people. There is a team effort behind every part we supply, and this award recognises the commitment of colleagues across the business who work hard to support our customers.”

As more insurers and bodyshop groups further develop their green parts strategies, Silverlake believes close collaboration between recyclers, repairers and the wider insurance industry will be important in helping realise growing ambitions for sustainable vehicle repair and a robust automotive circular economy.

Prebble added:

“Thank you to everyone who voted for us and to our customers across the insurance and body repair industries for their continued trust.  Congratulations also to our fellow finalists.  Recognition like this helps highlight the contribution automotive recycling makes to vehicle repair and the circular economy.”
