2020 heralds the 20th anniversary of the BPMA’s Pump Industry Awards – two decades of recognising and rewarding excellence throughout the pump sector.
During that time, the Pump Industry Awards has acknowledged and celebrated some wonderful innovations, challenging applications, impressive skills development, engineering acumen and great business achievement. It has rewarded companies, products, people and projects, all of which have contributed to making the pump industry the success that it is today. Tirelessly supported by the industry’s trade organisation, the BPMA, along with our various partners and sponsors, the Gala Awards Dinner has established itself as a highly regarded and well-respected industry event.
Richard Harden, BPMA President said, “The 2019 Pump Industry Awards was another huge success and once again provided an excellent forum through which to acknowledge and celebrate business and professional excellence. I very much look forward to building on that success with the 2020 awards programme and would encourage all those operating in this wonderful sector of ours to put forward a nomination.”
In recognition of its 20 years continuous service to the pump community, the 2020 awards programme will include two brand new categories.
The Contribution to Skills & Training Award will be presented to the company, organisation, or individual(s) that can demonstrate a consistent contribution to the delivery of professional training and skills development within the pump industry.
The Rising Star Award will be presented to an employee who has been within the industry for no more than 6 years and who has made a significant contribution to a company and/or the industry, as demonstrated by the individual’s merits, successes, impact on the company, and colleague or customer endorsement.
