Celebrating excellence: The Manufacturer Top 100 at Smart Manufacturing Week

Posted on 24 Mar 2025 by The Manufacturer

As part of the activity surrounding Smart Manufacturing Week 2025, The Manufacturer Top 100 awards will once again take place on the first evening of the event (4th June), recognising the exceptional individuals driving UK manufacturing forward.

This prestigious programme celebrates inspiring leaders, innovators, and industry trailblazers across categories such as ‘Digital Transformer’, ‘Net Zero Hero’, and ‘Young Pioneer’.

The Manufacturer Top 100 awards are the gold standard for peer-to-peer recognition. The selection process is rigorous, with an expert panel carefully evaluating each nomination to ensure the most impactful individuals are recognised. The result is that only those individuals whose work is transforming the sector and inspiring the next generation are recognised.
Aligning perfectly with Smart Manufacturing Week’s core themes of Sustainability, Digital Transformation, Innovation, Supply Chain Resilience, and People & Skills; The Manufacturer Top 100 is a focal point of the event.

While nominations for the 2025 edition are now closed, manufacturers and industry leaders are encouraged to look ahead and consider submitting entries for the 2026 programme to highlight the remarkable contributions of their teams.
