This year’s Pump Industry Awards presentation evening was held on 16 March at the St George’s Park venue in Staffordshire in the UK.
The event once again celebrated business and professional excellence right across the pump industry. Football icon Kevin Keegan OBE provided the after-dinner entertainment before helping to conduct the main awards ceremony.
The entire event reflected the resurgent enthusiasm for live ‘in-person’ events and provided a wonderful opportunity for pump people to once again unite and connect with friends, colleagues, and clients.
Colin Simpson, business development director, Tomlinson Hall, commented: “It’s always a pleasure to be part of such a fantastic evening, and this year’s event will rank as one of my personal favourites. The atmosphere created by the venue was fantastic and to have Kevin Keegan as the guest speaker was inspired. Everyone I spoke to enjoyed the event, which was reflected by the networking that continued long after the formalities had been concluded.”
Bob Tichband, chief operating officer, SPP Pumps, added: “We are a proud member of the BPMA and appreciate the support it gives to UK pump manufacturers and associated companies. We were honoured to win the coveted manufacturer of the year award and our team enjoyed a fantastic night celebrating this success at the excellent awards dinner. We were also very pleased to sponsor the environmental contribution of the year award, of which AES Engineering were worthy winners.”
Event Director, Andrew Castle, said after the event: “Selecting a new venue for an established event is always challenging, but the Hilton at St George’s Park served us extremely well, and allowed us to bring a number of other developments into play for the evening.
"Our thanks must again go to our sponsors whose support and commitment enables us to stage such an event, and of course to all the entrants whose high calibre submissions made for another demanding judging panel session.”
