The Best Supplier Partnership celebrates successful relationships between a customer and supplier. This can include manufacturer and sub-contractor relationships and suppliers into sub-contractors companies; essentially any business partnership that has delivered excellence in innovation, sustainability, value or delivery.
The Most Dynamic Sub-Contractor award recognises the positive difference that excellent and forward-thinking sub-contractors can have on industry. The award is specifically looking for extraordinary sub-contractors that go above and beyond to integrate and, importantly deliver, to help businesses succeed.
Drive for Sustainable Manufacturing aims to recognise a dramatic improvement in a company’s environmental credentials. This may include a business change that has resulted in waste reduction, or reduced energy or water consumption, or shows improved recycling credentials. It may also include a switch to more sustainable materials or services.

I invite you to join us as we look to the future of British manufacturing technologies and enjoy an evening of networking and entertainment with colleagues and industry peers” Simon Pollard, MTA President and Managing Director at Kyal Machine Tools Ltd.
