Andrew James, Logistics Managing Director at Michael Page, joined Matt at the event and reflected on the proceedings, noting the inspiring energy and innovative spirit that pervaded the awards. “Sponsoring and observing the Manufacturer Top 100 awards was a truly inspiring experience,” he shared. “Listening to the contributions of the most dynamic and innovative manufacturing leaders just reinforced how invaluable manufacturing really is to the future growth of the UK economy.”
Indeed, the awards showcased a spectrum of talent—from young pioneers making waves in their fields to sector activists advocating for crucial change. This celebration of leadership highlighted the industry's rapid evolution and the exciting potential for those pursuing careers in manufacturing.
As Andrew aptly put it, “The awards demonstrated what fantastic potential there really is in UK manufacturing and what an exciting future it has as one of the bedrocks of the UK economy.”
The Manufacturer Top 100 is more than just a list; it is a testament to the collaborative spirit and innovation driving the manufacturing sector. This year’s awards recognised 100 individuals who have made significant contributions, chosen from a diverse pool of nominations by peers, colleagues, and industry stakeholders. Each nomination was meticulously evaluated by a panel of judges, ensuring that only the most deserving candidates made it to the prestigious list.
As Matt Devine took to the stage, he highlighted our long-standing partnership with The Manufacturer and our deep appreciation for the awards. “We truly love this event because it brings together a community of leaders and visionaries who are shaping the future of manufacturing,” Matt reflects. “It’s a celebration of hard work, innovation, and the collective drive to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the industry.”
The Manufacturer Top 100 Awards not only celebrate past achievements but also look forward to a future filled with potential. The industry is in the midst of a transformative period, characterised by rapid change and innovation. The event served as a reminder of the vital role manufacturing plays in the UK economy and the exciting opportunities that lie ahead.
As the industry continues to evolve, it’s crucial to support initiatives that drive progress and foster talent. One such initiative is the campaign to appoint the first Minister of Manufacturing, a move that could significantly bolster the sector’s representation and influence in government. This effort, which garnered significant attention at the awards, highlights the proactive steps being taken to ensure that manufacturing continues to thrive.
The Manufacturer Top 100 Awards was a a reminder of the exciting future that lies ahead. We are proud to be a part of this journey and look forward to continuing our support for the industry and its leaders.
