For one night each year, the engineering and advanced manufacturing sector join in celebration. Recognising talented individuals and organisations embodying the qualities that define our shared sectors and industries:
Dedication, innovation and above all, skill.
Each of the ten categories awarded pay homage to skills development. Honouring those making a difference to their workplace and the wider industry. Because without relevant skills, no sector can hope to survive, let alone thrive.
Yet, the ceremony is not only about celebrating success. It serves as a beacon to inspire the next generation of engineers. Providing a vital opportunity to engage, learn and share best practice. Laying the foundations of the future.
Next year’s event will be on the 19th of March at London’s exclusive 8 Northumberland Avenue. Moments from Trafalgar Square in the beating heart of the capital. A new venue, new awards and a host of entertainment promise an unmissable night. It is sure to be a highlight of your calendar year.
We invite you to be part of this auspicious occasion by sponsoring the awards and choosing your nominees.
Put your brand centre stage at the sector’s most prestigious industry awards ceremony.
The continued success of the awards depends on the generosity and expertise of benefactors like you. Principal sponsors not only make it possible for award winners to receive recognition. But by comprising the panel of esteemed judges, they ensure each winner is truly worthy.
In turn, sponsors gain a unique opportunity for sector-wide recognition themselves. Distinguishing their credibility as leaders. Underscoring their organisation’s ongoing commitment to skills development.
Only a few opportunities to guarantee maximum brand exposure at the 2020 awards remain.
These packages include attention throughout the entire 12-month campaign cycle. A table of 10 at the event with drinks for your guests throughout the ceremony. A representative from your company to address the audience on stage and much, much more.
Sponsorship offers an enjoyable night to remember with benefits that last.
