Made in Britain CEO part of judging panel for sector-leading annual awards
One of the leading awards ceremonies for the manufacturing sector is back and bigger than ever.
The Manufacturer Top 100 is an annual awards show celebrating and rewarding the best in British manufacturing, from problem-solving innovations to charismatic leadership and unrivalled customer service. The awards are as much about individual brilliance as they are about collective effort and teamwork, spotlighting the essential nature of the industry as a whole.
Great British manufacturers
It forms part of Smart Manufacturing Week and will take place at the NEC in Birmingham on Wednesday, June 4, 2025, with an exhibition being held throughout the following day.
Now in its 12th year, the awards cover all four corners of the United Kingdom to find the standout figures within the manufacturing industry, with winners chosen by a panel of expert, industry-leading judges.
Made in Britain’s CEO John Pearce (pictured, left) returns as a judge for this year’s competition for his second year on the panel.
Made in Britain boasts over 2,100 businesses within its network, each able to display the trademark logo on their products to differentiate British manufacturing from the rest of the world. Made in Britain members have a strong track record of successful entries for these awards owing to their commitment to the organisation’s principles of UK production, high-quality employment, responsible business practices and sustainable growth.
John Pearce said: “The Manufacturer has done such a great job in putting these awards on each year, giving everyone in the sector a chance to celebrate each and every one of our achievements over the last 12 months. At Made in Britain, we care deeply about the domestic manufacturing industry, and are proud to be a part of these awards once more. Best of luck to all who have entered!”
