MAS partners with IMechE for MX2009

9th Dec 2008

The BERR Manufacturing Advisory Service (MAS) is partnering with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) for what have been dubbed the ‘Oscars’ of the manufacturing industry – the Manufacturing Excellence Awards 2009 (MX 2009).

MX is the only UK awards scheme of its kind that offers an elite panel of industry experts giving free, impartial advice in a benchmarking report that has been valued at up to £20,000. The report will offer a ‘top tips’ service to firms with invaluable advice on how to improve performance, taking size, industry and resources into consideration.

Companies can enter via the MX2009 website: www.mxawards.org
The application deadline is 29th January 2009.

Arthur Richardson, chief executive of the MAS in the South West, commented: “We are actively encouraging as many companies within the region to enter these awards. By entering MX, they will receive a benchmarking report compiled by leading manufacturing experts, as well as industry and peer-recognised kudos if they go on to win an award at June’s awards ceremony.

“The glitz and glamour of an awards ceremony is fantastic, but the processes and the self-reflexive journey that each company goes through to get to the ‘big night’ is extraordinary and one that will stand them in good stead for the future.”
