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.
