Welcome to the British Made Awards 2024, the prestigious accolade programme presented by SME News, celebrating the innovation, excellence, and growth of the manufacturing industry throughout the UK! Returning for its fourth instalment, this annual awards programme recognises the remarkable contributions of firms that have excelled in manufacturing, driving economic growth, and setting recognised benchmarks for industry standards. Targeting a broad spectrum of enterprises, from thriving start-ups to well-established businesses, the British Made Awards 2024 aims to showcase the diversity and enterprising spirit of Britain’s manufacturers. The programme is tailored to shine a spotlight on businesses of all sizes that are innovating, evolving, and contributing to the thriving manufacturing landscape. In 2024, the British manufacturing industry is poised for growth, bolstered by a significant £360 million government investment targeting sectors such as electric vehicles, pharmaceuticals, and aerospace. This funding aims to secure highly skilled jobs and drive long-term economic growth. Despite challenges like low demand, supply chain disruptions, and geopolitical uncertainties, the sector remains resilient, with ongoing investments in advanced technologies such as digital twins, AI-powered content generation, and 3D printing. Sustainability is a core focus, with companies committing to ecofriendly materials and practices, exemplified by initiatives like Adidas’s use of recycled polyester. The industry also prioritises workforce development to address the skills gap, with comprehensive training programs and flexible work arrangements. The “Made in Britain” initiative continues to promote locally manufactured goods, enhancing their recognition and supporting sustainable growth.
