MA Business launches Engineering & Manufacturing Awards

New event brings together Mark Allen’s unparalleled engineering portfolio to celebrate the very best of the UK manufacturing sector

MA Business, part of the Mark Allen Group, is launching The Engineering & Manufacturing Awards to recognise the energy and innovation across UK industry. The awards ceremony will take place at a black tie event on the evening of 19th May 2023 at the London Marriot Hotel, Grosvenor Square.

Mark Allen is the biggest engineering and manufacturing publisher in the UK, with titles including Eureka!, Machinery, Manufacturing Management, New Electronics and The Engineer. In addition, it runs events including the Engineering Design Show, Subcon and the European Manufacturing Strategies Summit.

These awards will leverage the audiences of all these titles, shows and summits into creating an awards event that will reflect the enormous variety, expertise and talent of the UK’s engineers and manufacturers.

Paul Fanning, Publishing Director at MA Business said: “Alongside all our engineering and manufacturing brands, The Engineer, Eureka!, Manufacturing Management, Machinery and New Electronics represent some of the strongest brands in engineering media. Between them, they cover the manufacturing cycle from design to production and have a pedigree of hundreds of years. What all these brands have in common is a commitment to focusing on, amplifying and celebrating the achievements of engineers of all disciplines and manufacturing of all types. And that is why they are coming together now to deliver an event that will take this celebration to another level.”
