EEF, the manufacturers’ organisation, has launched the 10th annual Future Manufacturing Awards, designed to find unsung manufacturing heroes and outstanding apprentices.
Eastern manufacturers and apprentices are being urged to put themselves forward for the prestigious regional business awards, which are free to enter and could ultimately lead to them being named Britain’s best manufacturer.
There are six business awards up for grabs, recognising health and safety, leadership, innovation, business growth and strategy, sustainability and developing future talent.
CEO of EEF, Stephen Phipson CBE, said: “A strong manufacturing sector is the backbone of any healthy economy, spreading wealth and secure employment to every region. This takes dedication, dynamism and hard work from companies.”
The closing date for entries is June 29. Visit www.eef.org.uk/awards to enter.
