Entries now open for the CMG Awards Night 2025 at the Eden Project
This event honours the innovation, skill, and resilience of Cornwall’s manufacturers -businesses that develop world-class products and pioneering solutions right here in the region.
This year’s awards will feature keynote speaker Lord Richard Harrington, the newly appointed Chair of Make UK, whose distinguished career includes Ministerial positions in business, industry, and employment. His presence will reinforce the national significance of Cornwall’s manufacturing excellence.
Harry Young-Jamieson, CEO of the CMG and Managing Director of St Eval, said: “Our awards night is always a significant milestone for our members and the wider sector. Cornwall’s manufacturers are powerhouses of brilliance – highly innovative, deeply skilled, and vital to everyday life. Yet they’re often too modest about their impact. These awards give us the opportunity to shine a spotlight on their incredible achievements.”
Eric Nicholls, Chairman of the CMG and Managing Director of Spiral UK, added: “This event is our way of celebrating the people, ideas, and businesses driving the manufacturing industry forward in Cornwall. Whether food and drink or pharmaceutical and candles, it’s for everyone that manufactures in Cornwall. It is also the stepping stone to the SW Regional and national awards with MakeUK – which we ourselves won previously for the CMG Academy.”
