Ones to Watch Awards to recognise processing and packaging industry’s rising stars
Nominations open until 8 March
The rising stars of the processing and packaging industry are to be announced at the Ones to Watch Awards, as part of the Total Processing and Packaging Exhibition from 4-6 June 2013 at the NEC, Birmingham.
The awards welcome nominations from every area of the industry and reward individuals who have shown exceptional entrepreneurship, commitment and diligence within their current role. Entries will be reviewed and shortlisted by a panel of judges including Bob Hinchcliffe, Managing Director of Quasar Automation, Josh Brooks, Brand Director of Packaging News, and Gary Wyles, Managing Director of Festo. A final public vote will then decide who takes the gold, silver and bronze awards.
The gold winner will receive a complimentary, in-company training course worth over £9,500 from Festo’s Training & Consulting portfolio, while all winners will be given the chance to attend a Festo Training & Consulting workshop and be exhibited as part of the Achievement Gallery at the show.
Hinchcliffe said: “I feel very privileged to be asked to join the judging panel for this year’s competition and am delighted to be a part of this process. It is a great opportunity to recognise and encourage young engineers within the industry and I can’t wait to see the calibre of 2013 nominations.”
