The innovative, the efficient and the all-round epitome of excellence in UK manufacturing will vie to be crowned the best in their field at The Manufacturer MX (TMMX) Awards 2015, sponsored by NatWest.
Announced today, the shortlisted businesses from all 12 categories will now undergo the most rigorous judging process of any industry awards in the UK.
This year, The Manufacturer magazine combined its ever popular awards show with the Institution of Mechanical Engineer’s methodically rigorous judging process for the first time, meaning TMMX Awards 2015 will not only shine a spotlight on the absolute best businesses in industry, but provide feedback for each shortlisted entrant to help with future business improvements.

Nick Hussey, CEO of Hennik Group – publishers of The Manufacturer magazine and organisers of the awards – noted that it’s “an incredible achievement to have been shortlisted.”
He said: “These are the largest and most rigorously judged awards in the sector so any company being shortlisted will have provided evidence to the judges of a superior level of understanding of what makes modern UK manufacturing so vibrant and competitive.
“Manufacturing is very much alive and well and the shortlisted companies are exemplars of what advanced manufacturing looks like in terms of sustainability, innovation and world class competitiveness”.
Winners from previous years have included Xtrac (The Manufacturer of the Year, 2014), Vaillant Group (Sustainable Manufacturing, 2014) and Sheffield Forgemasters International (Leadership and Strategy, 2013).
Companies shortlisted in eight of this year’s categories will now begin the process of the judging team visiting their factories for assessment before an intensive Judging Day brings together all finalists for face-to-face presentations to the panel on October 14.
Head of Manufacturing at NatWest, Richard Hill said: “We are delighted to continue our support of the awards – celebrating some of the best achievements from across the industry.
