Claire Whysall, communications manager for Composites UK said; “We’ve seen the participation in the industry awards grow over the last few years. This is not only due to the immense support the event has received from organisations such as the coinciding Advanced Engineering Show and Composites in Manufacturing Magazine, but also because the UK composites supply chain is among the best in the world and has a lot to shout about.

“The awards dinner is a black-tie event attracting 300 people from OEMs/Tier1 organisations as well as SMEs, all supporting their peers and their industry in a formal yet celebratory atmosphere”.
