Composites UK has announced the Application Process for the 2017 Composites Industry Awards. The application process for the awards has been opened by Composites UK. The trade association is looking for applications that show new innovations with composite materials as well as exceptional systems companies and personnel. This includes applications that look in to composite manufacture, design and materials. The deadline for the applications is the 31st of July 2017.
A shortlist form the applications will be drawn up and announced in September, with the winners of the Composite Industry Awards revealed at the Industry Awards Dinner that will be held on the 1st November. This even will take place at the National Conference Centre in Birmingham. Over the course of the last few years, event organisers have said that they have seen the number of applications to the awards grow. The growth of the Awards is thought to be down to the support that they have received from other organisations such as the Advanced Engineering Show and thee Composites in Manufacturing Magazine as well as the improvement of the UK composites supply chain, which is considered the best of its kind in the world. This excellent supply chain means that the sector has a great deal to recognise and celebrate.
Application forms for the awards are available at the Composites UK website. For the application, companies can nominate themselves or someone else. It is free to apply however it is expected that is the applicant is nominated for the shortlist, they will attend the Awards Dinner in order to find out who has won the prize. In previous years, Airbus, Broadwater Mouldings, Dura Composites and ELG Carbon Fiber have been named as the winner of the Composite Industry Awards. Prices for booking single seats or tables for the Awards ceremony are available at differing rates for members and mon-members. There will also be some sponsorship available for those companies that are interested in joining the Axillium and the National Composites Centre.
