The British Pump Manufacturer’s Association’s (BPMA’s) annual awards programme has recognised and rewarded the achievements of pump businesses, large and small for over two decades, becoming one of the leading events to serve the industrial and commercial arena.
Businesses wishing to promote a particularly successful pump project, their environmental credentials, or staff members who have gone above and beyond or which believe their commitment to skills development is worthy of acknowledgment are encouraged to enter.
The closing date for all entries is Friday, 5 January 2024 and the entry process is simple, the BPMA stated. By putting forward a nomination companies are demonstrating confidence and pride in the quality of their work, people, products, and projects, it said.
Submissions are sought for activities and achievements that took place in the 18-month period up to December 2023, and the online entry forms will remain on the dedicated awards website – www.pumpindustryawards.com – until the entry deadline of 5pm on 5 January 2024.
Following the success of the 2023 event, the next gala dinner and presentation ceremony will take place on Thursday 14 March 2024 at the Hilton at St George’s Park in Burton on Trent.
This key sector of industry continues to play a crucial role in ensuring food production, utilities, manufacturing processes, transportation and other essential services are maintained, and the 2024 awards programme is designed to give special recognition to those companies and individuals who have not just met, but exceeded the demands and challenges presented by the sectors served.
This recognition and acknowledgement will be represented by eight award categories, that collectively honour the full breadth of product and service delivery by the pump industry:
• Product of the Year
• Project of the Year
• Environmental Contribution of the Year
• Manufacturer of the Year
• Distributor of the Year
• Supplier of the Year
• Contribution to Skills & Training
• Rising Star Award
BPMA director Wayne Rose said: “This year’s awards ceremony – the 22nd such event – was as good as any I can remember. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the competition intense. Business and professional excellence deserves to be acknowledged and celebrated and these awards do just that for this most important of sectors. I would therefore encourage all those involved in the pump industry to prepare and submit their entries for the 2024 awards programme.”
