Composites UK, trade association of the UK composites industry, has initiated the process for its 2021 industry awards. It has invited submissions from companies and individuals. The annual awards celebrate the achievements of the UK composites industry in terms of company efforts and individual successes. The awards were postponed last year due to COVID-19.

The categories will include innovation in composite design, manufacture and materials, as well as recognising start-up businesses, health and safety practices, sustainability projects, and investment in employees. Exceptional employees and trainee/apprentices will also be showcased.

Entry into the awards is free-of-charge, however the shortlisted two companies/individuals in each category will be expected to attend the awards dinner, on November 3 at the National Motorcycle Museum in anticipation of a win.

Claire Whysall, communications manager said; “We’re excited for the return of the awards dinner in 2021, having had to postpone it due to COVID-19 last year. From speaking to our members, they are looking forward to catching up with their peers in the industry.”

“Entry into the awards is open to both members and non-members of the association, with the deadline being 5 pm on July 30,” according to Whysall.
