After making a name for themselves in the auto body industry for nearly a decade, big changes reshaped Fawcett Auto Body in 1988. Diana, and son Rick Fawcett made a well thought-out decision to keep the company's doors open after the sudden death of her husband and business owner, Jerry. After earning his Red Seal from Red River College's Auto Body Technician program in 1991, Rick took on the responsibility of running the shop while Diana continued managing the business and daily office duties. The Fawcett Auto Body family got bigger in 1994 when Rick's wife Denise joined the team to help with administrative duties.

Flash forward nearly 30 years, which included a relocation and an expansion, and Fawcett Auto Body has grown into a successful 8,700 square foot, state of the art auto body facility.

Diana, Rick and Denise know that in order to provide the best customer service, it all begins with staffing. "Staff training, together with a focus on customer service, are key to the achievement and maintenance of success for Fawcett Auto Body", says Diana. "We have achieved the respect and trust of our customers, who in turn send us many referrals. We have proved we have real staying power." Her advice to others? "Take the time to achieve a balance in your life."

Diana Fawcett won the Federal Business Development Bank's award for fastest turnaround, and was also a finalist for the Financial Post's Canadian Woman Entrepreneur of the Year Award.

Fawcett Auto Body is regularly monitored by accreditation bodies like MPI for level of performance and are proud to not only pass with flying colours, but consistently outscore the industry average.
