For the past twenty years, the Pump Industry Awards (PIA) has been recognising the best performing pump companies, products and people for their achievements, developments and positive contributions within this important industry sector. The BPMA will again lead the way in championing those who strive for business, professional and engineering excellence, through its staging of the 2020 awards programme.
Nine eagerly contested awards are up for grabs, with two new categories being introduced to help highlight the value and importance of both individual talent and ongoing skills development:
• Technical Innovation, Products (Sponsored by Process Engineering)
• Technical Innovation, Projects (Sponsored by Stuart Turner)
• Environmental Contribution of the Year (Sponsored by SPP Pumps)
• Manufacturer of the Year (Sponsored by BPMA)
• Distributor of the Year (Sponsored by WEG)
• Supplier of the Year (Sponsored by Wilo)
• Contribution to Skills & Training (Sponsored by Tomlinson Hall)
• Rising Star Award (Sponsored by World Pumps)
• Lifetime Achievement Award (Sponsored by BPMA)
Richard Harden, BPMA President, said of the awards: “The pump industry continues to be a hot bed of competitiveness, where the customers’ constant search for greater operational performance and improved efficiencies demands all those operating within this important sector be at the top of their game. This BPMA backed awards programme allows the pump industry to come together in recognition of that drive for engineering excellence. I would therefore encourage anyone involved in the manufacture and supply of pumps to get involved with the awards and help celebrate our endeavours.”
The prestigious awards dinner and presentation ceremony will take place on Thursday 19th March 2020 at the 4-Star Chesford Grange Hotel, near Warwick Castle, which offers easy access from all over the UK for the 250+ guests expected to attend.
A full complement of sponsors has once again been secured for the industry event, with each one contributing to the overall success of the awards programme and presentation dinner. They include ABB, John Crane, Process Engineering, SPP Pumps, Stuart Turner, Tomlinson Hall, WEG Electric Motors, Wilo UK, World Pumps and of course the BPMA.
Entries are sought for any company, product, application or individual within the pump industry that is worthy of recognition and reward. Submissions are not restricted to BPMA membership, and you can put forward entries for yourself and your own company, or you can nominate others that you know of or work with. The online entry process couldn’t be easier, so if you want to play your part in bringing engineering excellence to the fore, please do visit the PIA website.
