The British Pump Manufacturers Association is excited to announce that the nomination process for the 2026 Pump Industry Awards is now underway. This year's Gala Dinner will take place on Thursday 19th March at The Hilton, St. George's Park, Burton upon Trent.
As always, the event will provide a valuable opportunity for networking, as well as a superb platform to recognise, reward and celebrate amazing achievements across the pump industry.
So, if you have a pumping product, application, initiative, person, team, or business that you feel is worthy of industry-wide recognition, this awards programme provides the perfect opportunity. The closing date for all entries is Friday 28th November 2025, allowing you plenty of time to consider, prepare and submit your entries. Entering is simple, and by putting forward a nomination you are demonstrating pride in the quality of your work, people, products, and projects.
The online entry forms, which seek submissions for activities and achievements that will have taken place in the 18-month period up to the submission deadline, are now available for completion via the dedicated awards website - so why delay? Visit the site today and begin considering which key developments, initiatives, staff, and successes you will be putting forward for well-deserved acknowledgment.
The pump industry plays a crucial role in ensuring our food production, utilities, manufacturing processes, transportation and other essential services are maintained, and the 2026 awards programme, will again highlight those companies and individuals who have gone the extra mile to meet, and quite often exceed, the demands and challenges presented by the sectors served.
