Celebrating the Achievements of the UK Composites Industry
Every November, Composites UK hosts its Industry Awards Dinner to coincide with the Advanced Engineering Show.
This event has gone from strength-to-strength since its creation in 2012, going from 70 attendees to over 300. Here, awards are given out for innovation in materials, manufacture, design, health and safety, environmental/sustainability projects as well as personnel awards celebrating employer, employee and trainee/apprentice of the year.
Below are some case studies from our past winners showing their innovative work and how the accolade has helped their business.
