Composites UK launches start-up award

Composites UK has added an award for Start-Up Business of the Year to its list of accolades presented at the Industry Awards Dinner on 30 October at the National Motorcycle Museum.

The award will celebrate new businesses in the composites supply chain born from innovation, driving the industry forward. To qualify the company must be less than two years old.

Companies entering the award must demonstrate evidence in its market research, including size, customer profile and competitor analysis; a clear, innovate business idea backed by a sound business and marketing plan; on-target business and financial performance to date and finally; an overview of how the business launched and why it is filling a gap in the market.

“We felt it was important to launch this new award to recognise the new companies making strides in our supply chain. We are regularly contacted by start-ups looking for advice or assistance through our business support services and we wanted to give something back to them in recognition of their braveness in starting a new venture,” said Claire Whysall, Communications Manager at Composites UK.

The 2019 event is sponsored by Zund, Engel, Axillium, Surface Generation and the Advanced Engineering Show. The deadline for entries is 7 August 2019.
