HUNT BEGINS TO FIND BEST UK MANUFACTURER

November 6, 2006 4:21 PM

Institute for Mechanical Engineering LogoSolihull's MP, Lorely Burt is appealing for firms in Solihull to enter the Institute of Mechanical Engineers' Manufacturing Excellence Awards for 2007. The winner of the competition, one of the most prestigious in the business world, will win the coveted title of the UK's best manufacturer.

This is the 25th anniversary of the awards, set up initially by a dedicated team of IMechE members and business representatives to promote and protect the heritage of our UK industry and, most importantly, share best practice.

LibDem Small Business Spokesperson, Lorely Burt MP said:

"I would encourage any firms, of any size, to enter these awards. Each firm that enters is entitled to a free, bespoke Benchmark Report from a panel of manufacturing experts worth up to £20,000 after filling in a self assessment audit, and it costs nothing to enter!"

The report will offer a 'top tips' service to firms with invaluable advice on how to improve performance, taking size and resources into consideration. Deadline for entries is 1st March 2007.

Finalists for the 11 categories will be invited to a glittering awards ceremony on 13 June at the Marriott Hotel in London where the winners will be announced.

"I hope to see as many companies a possible from Solihull enter as everyone is a winner. For those that reach the final, they will have demonstrated that they are the elite in their field. A positive effect of this would be an enhanced local economy and potentially, more jobs for our area," added Lorely Burt MP.

Firms interested should visit the dedicated website www.mx2007.org.uk, or email mx2007@imeche.org.uk Alternatively telephone 0207 7973 1287 to contact the office direct.
