AMPS AWARDS FOR EXCELLENCE & GALA DINNER A SPARKLING OCCASION

The AMPS Awards for Excellence and Gala Dinner was held on the 8th of December 2022 at the Park Plaza Hotel, Westminster and attended by over 200 Power Gen Industry guests. Hosted by comedian Hal Cruttenden, the evening got into swing with a sparkling Prosecco reception, giving excellent networking opportunities for the great and the good of the industry.

The highlight of the evening was, of course, the presentation of the AMPS Awards for Excellence. An industry association like AMPS is only as strong as its members and the innovative products which they produce. AMPS members range from blue chip OEMs, the supply chain and service providers through to distributors.

One thing they have in common is gold standard products representing both the best of British manufacturing and global innovation. A good cross section of AMPS members were nominated across the range of award categories.

The awards dinner provided the first opportunity for AMPS members to meet their new Director General, David Oates.

David is a Power Gen industry insider with many years' experience.

David gave a short introduction to himself and his vision to take AMPS

AWARDS SPONSORS: forward, raising its profile as the voice of the UK's powergen industry.

The AMPS Awards for Excellence were sponsored by member companies. We are perpetually grateful for members' generosity in supporting the association and its events.

At the end of the event, a collection in aid of the AMPS Chairman's Charity,

Alzheimer's Research UK. AMPS Chairman, Paul Aitken, is running the London Marathon in aid of this very necessary charity which has, sadly, touched so many of our lives.

Almost £900 was raised on the night. A big thank you to all the guests who generously donated to the cause.

The 2023 AMPS Awards for Excellence will be moving away from London, at the request of members recognising the excessive cost of London hotels, to an exciting new venue in the West Midlands.

Enhanced award categories, additional industry judges and a few surprises will make the 2023 Awards an event to be proud of.

Watch out for details and the call for award nominations in the spring.
