Enter WM's all new Manufacturing Champions Awards

Manufacturing Champions, in association with The Manufacturing Institute, is the first awards scheme to celebrate the all-important people who supercharge factory success. Entries are open until October 15, with categories that include the Manufacturing Team Award, Rising Star Award, Unsung Hero, Safe Workplace Champion Award and Manufacturing Leader Award. The Manufacturing Champions Awards will recognise outstanding performance, teamwork, innovation and delivering added value to customers. The Manufacturing Champions Awards will also promote the exciting career opportunities on offer inside the factory gates. Max Gosney, group editor, Works Management said: "It's high time the hardworking people who power UK manufacturing success took a curtain call. From the shift team whose eureka moment has led to a monumental safety improvement to the manager whose deft leadership skills have inspired employees to go the extra mile. The Manufacturing Champions Awards will shine a light on the men and women whose passion and professionalism helps UK manufacturing take on the world." Julie Madigan, chief executive of The Manufacturing Institute, commented: "Every day we hear about the people who make a difference in manufacturing from the shop floor to the boardroom. People who go that extra mile, are willing to share their experience, prepared to take a risk and lead teams to innovation and excellence.... We know how good they are. And these awards will help us celebrate the outstanding people working in UK manufacturing on a national scale." Are you proud of your people? Has your team delivered all-conquering kaizen?
