Following the highly regarded 2021 awards ceremony in November of last year, the nomination process for the 2022 Association of Electrical and Mechanical Trades (AEMT) awards programme is now officially open.
Building on its past successes,
the fifth outing of this sectorspecific awards scheme will again
culminate in a gala presentation
ceremony on Thursday, 17th 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 full
programme will be announced during the
summer, but its focus will be on providing
AEMT members with help and guidance
on a range of topics of primary interest to
the development of their businesses. Staff
recruitment, development and retention,
the adoption of smart technologies, the
commercial value associated with circular
economy and sustainability initiatives,
and the support networks that can be
accessed by those operating in the sector
are all expected to feature in the conference
programme.
A panel of renowned speakers will
be invited to share their knowledge and
expertise throughout the day in a series
of talks and presentations specifically
designed to be of tangible value and
relevance to AEMT member organisations.
Then, during the evening, the AEMT
Gala Awards Dinner will bring together the
electrical and mechanical trades sector
to celebrate business and professional
excellence.
