Following an unprecedented number of nominations and more than a month of judging deliberation, our panel of expert adjudicators has made the final decision on your TM Top 100 2015.
Although the votes have been counted and verified, the results of the list, as well as, the names of the exemplars, remains top secret. The list will be revealed at an elegant event at the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery on November 25.
The project – sponsored by Lloyds Bank, Autodesk and BDO – aims to provide a platform to showcase the talented individuals in manufacturing, and promote role models who will encourage young people into this vibrant and rewarding sector.
TM Top 100 is part of TM LIVE, the biggest annual event in UK manufacturing.
Last year, shortlisted candidates and the wider manufacturing community joined TV presenter and engineer Kate Bellingham at an exclusive event at KPMG’s Birmingham office to celebrate the report launch.
The event brought together academia, Government and industry to mark the first ever The Manufacturer Top 100 report.
