Industry leader Jeff Leonard recognized at ARMO Industry Awards reception in Las Vegas
HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. -- Classic Industries is pleased to announce that its founder and CEO Jeff Leonard was recognized recently by the Automotive Restoration Market Organization (ARMO) for his significant contribution to the restoration hobby. Leonard was presented with the organization’s prestigious Hall of Fame Award during the ARMO Awards Banquet on Nov. 2 at the SEMA Convention in Las Vegas, NV.
ARMO’s Hall of Fame honor is awarded to individuals who have played an integral role in the advancement of the restoration industry. Classic Industries is committed to ensuring its customers have access to the most complete offering of automotive restoration parts and accessories. Leonard’s long-standing commitment to keeping thousands of people employed over the course of company history, both within his organization as well as vendors and suppliers has made him a deserving candidate for this honor.
“This award is truly humbling, to be recognized by not only ARMO, but by my colleagues and peers is the greatest reward,” said Leonard. “I cannot think of a greater achievement for an automotive enthusiast and hobbyist.”
The ARMO council recognized Leonard for his ability to offer the parts and accessories consumers need most to restore their vehicles. Leonard joins the ranks of previous awardees such as Dennis Gage, Randy Shannon and Steve Ames.
Classic Industries has been a member of SEMA for over 25 years and has been a key contributing member of the ARMO organization since its inception in the early 1990s.
