The Association of Electrical and Mechanical Trades (AEMT) is calling for nominations to be submitted for the inaugural AEMT Gala Awards Dinner later this year.

The event, which brings together the entire electrical and mechanical trades sector in a global celebration of business and professional excellence, will take place at the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel in Coventry on Wednesday, 29 November.

Recognising and rewarding the achievements of both individuals and companies operating within this important industry sector, personal endeavour, technical innovation, engineering advancement and commercial acumen will all be acknowledged and celebrated.

Operated by the Association of Electrical and Mechanical Trades (AEMT) and produced by Touchwave Media, the awards will for the first time acknowledge the skill, effort and sheer dedication of the people and businesses serving this large and international sector of industry. With sponsorship provided by a host of leading industry names, and extensive promotional support afforded by the two publications dedicated to this sector - Plant & Works Engineering and Drives & Controls – well deserved industry-wide recognition will at last be given to those businesses, large and small, who are excelling in their endeavours.
