Made in Britain launches the Impact Awards 2024

By John Pearce, Made in Britain CEO 

Last year’s Impact Awards built on the incredible success of our first Impact Awards in 2022. It saw 124 entrants looking to celebrate their many achievements in UK manufacturing over the last 12 months. Seeing so many of our members taking part and reading through excellent entries from our growing membership was thrilling and made me realise just how much people value their relationship with the unique Made in Britain Trademark.

But as ever, we know the importance of never standing still, which is why I am thrilled to announce that the Impact Awards 2024 will be in person! Seeing a members’ board room full of people leaping to the air when they won in both previous years made me realise that this is too important to members to keep virtual. It is an opportunity for our members to get together, network and celebrate their successes – together and in one place.

We have secured a fabulously unique venue for the awards ceremony, which will be announced in the coming weeks. For now, mark Wednesday 6th November in your calendars.

The Made in Britain Impact Awards are open exclusively to all our members, that are accredited with the licence to use the Registered Trademark. The awards will give you and your business the chance to tell your story of achievement and be recognised within manufacturing and your industry sector.

Impact is all about measurable improvement. Though it has been another challenging twelve months for manufacturing overall, we’ve seen hundreds more members join, and thousands of incredibly positive stories come through our news section – proof that our community is resilient, still growing, always achieving, and delighted to share their successful actions in business with others in this striving sector. We know that manufacturing success turns into success in many other parts of the British economy.

In our third year, the categories of this year’s Impact Awards have been broadened, but still focus on the measurable success of our members in sustainability, social impact, innovation, procurement, exporting and of course, team leadership.

The awards are being judged by leading industry experts in their fields from across the UK and then celebrated at the awards ceremony with highly coveted trophies and an in-person awards ceremony for you and your guests.

Every one of our members has a positive impact on their local communities, their regional development, and the national economy. If your business is an active member of our organisation, you can enter yourself into any or all of the categories which will be announced on Tuesday, 30th July 2024. Entering is free and open to all Made in Britain member organisations.
