Following the highly regarded 2022 awards ceremony last November, the AEMT has
announced that the nomination process for the 2023 awards programme is now
officially open.
Building on its past successes,
the sixth outing of this sector-specific
awards scheme will again
culminate in a gala presentation
ceremony, taking place on the evening of
Thursday, 23 November at the Doubletree
by Hilton Hotel in Coventry.
Centrally located for easy access from
all over the UK, this venue will also play
host to the supporting AEMT Conference –
a ‘must attend event’ for all members. The
complete programme will be announced
during the summer, but the conference
focus will again be on providing AEMT
members with help and guidance on a
range of topics that will be of tangible value
and relevance in the development of their
businesses.
Then, during the evening, the AEMT
Gala Awards Dinner will bring together the
electrical and mechanical trades sector
to celebrate business and professional
excellence. Recognising and rewarding
the achievements of individuals and
companies operating across the
maintenance and repair arena, personal
endeavour, product innovation, skills
training, engineering advancement and
commercial acumen will be acknowledged
and celebrated.
Operated by the Association of
Electrical and Mechanical Trades (AEMT)
and produced by Touchwave Media, the
awards will again acknowledge the skill,
effort and sheer dedication of the people
and businesses serving this important
sector of industry. With the support of
its sponsors, a spotlight will be shone on
those businesses that are excelling in their
commercial endeavours and, in many
cases going far beyond the call of duty in
ensuring the safe and efficient operation
of plant and equipment within our critical
sectors.

for a job well done, be it for product
innovation or project management, for

It is free of charge to enter the awards,
but the promotional value associated

many hundreds of pounds. And for those
individuals and companies fortunate
enough to be one of the seven winners

that you have at your disposal, and which
presents and supports your business and
professional endeavours, could make

programme; the gravitas and promotional
exposure for which is both valuable and
enduring.
