MakeUK: Manufacturing awards 2025
Posted on 17 April 2025
Who will you thank first if you receive a Make UK Manufacturing Award – your colleagues, your customers or your partner?
It’s an important question to ponder in the coming months, but you’ll never grasp that glimmering trophy if you don’t enter.
Entering is free and easy, so send in your application by Friday 27 June 2025. And for the greatest chance of success, here are our top five tips for putting together a brilliant entry:
- Include facts and figures, and back up your statements with quantifiable data.
- Add in employee testimonies, photographs, charts, and any supporting documents that enhance your case.
- Discuss any challenges you encountered, and how they were overcome. This shows perseverance and dedication.
- Be concise. The judges aren’t looking for beautiful prose, it’s about the story you have to share.
- Take a leap of faith, and don’t put off applying. Now is as good a time as any!
If you’re still not sure, here’s how entering made one company leader feel.
“Gaining recognition from Make UK was tangible evidence of the team’s hard work. The process to our awards was a joy to be a part of. To showcase the business is always a pleasure and the approach meant we could really describe in detail how we reached the levels we have.”
James Pickles, Managing Director at Westek Technology (2024 regional winner)
