Finalists Announced in 2021 AEMT Awards Programme

Having been forced to withdraw from staging its annual awards dinner and presentation ceremony last year, due to the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the AEMT is looking forward to its return on the evening of Thursday 18th November 2021.

Originally scheduled for its regular slot in November 2020, following hugely successful events in each of the preceding three years, the Gala Awards Ceremony will return to the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel, Coventry, along with the associated AEMT Conference, which will be staged throughout the day, prior to the presentation dinner taking place.

The event will once again bring together the electrical and mechanical trades sector in a celebration of business and professional excellence. Recognising and rewarding the achievements of both individuals and companies operating within the repair and maintenance arena, personal endeavour, product innovation, skills training, engineering advancement and commercial acumen will be acknowledged and celebrated.

Operated by the AEMT and produced by Touchwave Media, the awards will again acknowledge the skill, effort and sheer dedication of the people and businesses serving this important sector of industry. With sponsorship provided by a host of leading industry names, well deserved industry-wide recognition will be given to those businesses and individuals that are excelling in their commercial endeavours.
