WEAF Making a Difference (M.A.D) Awards

 

Introducing the 2024 WEAF M.A.D. Awards – our inaugural awards, dedicated to recognising excellence and innovation in the Aerospace, Defence, and Advanced Manufacturing/Engineering sectors. This region boasts the largest cluster in the country, so competition will be fierce.

We aim to spotlight ground breaking innovations, sustainability efforts, unsung heroes, and those investing in future talent. The awards will culminate in a prestigious ceremony at the WEAF Gala Dinner, where industry leaders and innovators will gather to celebrate.

The WEAF M.A.D. Awards are free to enter. Nominate deserving individuals and businesses who exemplify excellence. This is your opportunity to showcase the exceptional talent within your team and elevate your organisation’s profile.
